Friday

We arrived in to Glasgow fairly late on on Friday evening to a stunning 2 bedroom flat in Shawlands. It was sat right next to Queen’s Park, the perfect place for a picnic and a stroll or a run in the morning but that never happened 😉 It had high ceilings, creaky wooden floors and it was just spotlessly clean. If you’re interested in staying, here is this link to Lynn’s flat!

We hadn’t done any researching before our trip so we had a quick google when we arrived for somewhere to go. We decided to head to the West End, Ashton Lane which was a fair taxi drive from where we were staying but so worth it! It was bustling and we even ended up finding a ping pong bar and having a few games against each other which was so much fun, we definitely need one of those here at home – I’m pretty good, if I do say so myself 😉

Saturday

I woke up early as always and sat with a brew in front of the tele before every body else woke up. Those are my favourite mornings, when you can get thing’s done whilst everyone else is still sleeping. I also got to watch a little bit of the Emmerdale omnibus so that was a plus, haha! We made breakfast in the cosy kitchen and I was just so thankful I had picked a great Air BnB! It was perfect and I’m so excited to return again in the Winter months and visit the Christmas markets.

Later that day we ventured in to the city and visited the botanical gardens. Surprisingly they were free and so beautiful, if you like that sort of thing. Josh wasn’t overly impressed but I guess I have to put up with football most of the year so… who’s the real loser? Me! 🙁 For lunch, a friend suggested trying ‘bread meats bread‘ and I finally got to try Poutine for the first time! This is like cheese, chips and gravy on a whole other level. I always thought that it was a Northern thing but it’s actually a dish that originated in Canada!

Then of course no meal is complete without pudding so a short walk up the road to ‘Loop and Scoop‘ for gelato and churros! I went for the filled churro’s and got one of each flavour but I wished I had just stuck to Nutella because the other flavours weren’t to my liking…
