Tuesday 31st July
Cloudy and a bit drizzly later
Later that day!
We decided to walk back to the apartment rather than catch the bus and wanted to look out for The Willow Tea Rooms that Charles Rennie MacKintosh designed for his colleague Kate Cranston in 1903.
We went down Sauchiehall Street which is now a pedestrian precinct:
Had a coffee here part of the way down at Costa's and saw a group of old ladies out for a smoke and a chat:
We then went further down to find the Willow Tea Rooms designed, down to the teaspoons, by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, up on the third floor in the Watt Brothers building:
The Man
Later that afternoon as we walked down to Sainsbury's to get some stuff for tea we fell into a conversation with a man complaining about the rain. We had quite along chat about the drwabacks and benefit of rain and then he turned to do whatever!!
That's the second time we've been accosted by random strangers who just want to walk along and chat -must be a Glaswegian thing?
