Saturday 28th July - Glasgow Sherif Court

Saturday 28th July

Showery windy day

Glasgow Sherif Court

This city is where I was born in 1944 - work it out. We are here this time for four days to try and get the feeling of the place.

At about 9:30 this morning we were all packed up and ready to go. It was difficult saying goodbye to Ian, Kristy, Emi and Kai, but there are plans afoot!

We drove along the M8 to Glasgow which took about an hour and found our way to Ingham Street which is in The Merchant City part of Glasgow. We parked the car temporarily, using the parking App RingGo on my phone:

There was an amazing mural of wildlife behind the carpark. A lot of people were coming there to photograph it, including me:

Across the road was the Ramshorn Church:

It is an A listed building with an ancient graveyard behind it:

Then we had a walk around to find Sherif Court, 149 Ingham Street, Merchant City, Glasgow.

We followed Derek's instructions and found the apartment

It is really nice quite light and airy.

Here is the lounge

The Kitchen

And the bedroom

This is the view from our window:

This is the view down to Brunswick Street beside our apartment:

We went for a short walk down to the local Tescos Express to buy supplies. Here is a view down to the end of Ingham Street towards the old Royal Exchange, now an Art Gallery:-

... with The Duke of Wellington with the world Famous road cones on his head as a permanent display. The Glaswegians have a rather irreverent attitude towards authority and take a pride in it.
