A Weekend In Glasgow
So this weekend Beccy and I met up with Ed and Gill in Glasgow. We drove up from Manchester in Beccy's car and it didn't take as long as I thought it would; 4 hours. Not bad. We set off on Friday afternoon at about 1530 and got in for 1930.
So on Saturday Ed showed us around Glasgow and it was lovely. I didn't really know what to expect but it was unexpectedly classy. I mean Manchester's nice but it just isn't quite that classy. We went to a lovely old arcade for coffees and the over to the Merchant City for lunch. That was really nice and we found a bar where the food was brill and the atmosphere was fun. But the service was just a little bit rubbish. Then we had cocktails and wended the hours away. The back of the place was in an old covered market which was used for tobacco but now it had an art market.
So then we headed out to find a deli, of which there were many, but Ed knew one which he has been previously employed by called Peckhams. We bought some wine and smelly cheese called "Stinky Bishop". And by golly it was smelly!
We set off home and had a brill evening playing games etc. Ahh, a good time was had by all.

Beccy would like it to be known that the girls resoundingly defeated the boys at all games during this evening. In fact, during Taboo, they were positively psychic and displayed an unparalleled mental connection, leading to unprecedented scores.
Well, we let you win.
Oh please! You were rubbish!
Now I want to know which comment was deleted by the blog administrator!!
