Tuesday 31st July - Glasgow - Willow Tea Rooms and The Man

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!!
