Hidden Gardens

This afternoon we had a lovely time meeting up with some friends for a cuppa and a walk round the Hidden Gardens, which is round the back of the Tramway Theatre not far from where we live. It was a lovely day, and great to be able to sit out on the grass and chat and drink, and I even needed my sunglasses! It was also the first day this year that I have gone out wearing sandals and (horrors) exposing my feet to the world. The weather the last few days hasn't been very good, so I'm happy that it managed to sort itself out for the weekend rather than being gorgeous on a work day when I'm stuck in the office! This photo is of HD walking through a funny arty gate sculpture thingy - it had coloured flashing lights which must look fantastic when it's dark. This picture makes me laugh - I think all it needs is some dry ice and HD saying "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be ...." for this to be straight out of "Stars in their Eyes"! The garden has a number of different sections, including a herb garden and a random chimney stack (as the name of the theatre might suggest, this used to be a yard for the trams, but has been transformed into a really interesting space, both indoors and outdoors). Photos from the garden might well find their way onto my Glasgow blog later in the week.
