2011 Project365 (day259)

This morning saw various calls to and from solicitor, lender and HD and my nerves in tatters. I would be so hopeless at poker! (but, I'm guessing regular readers may also have figured that one out already!). This afternoon I was up in town meeting up with a couple of friends who are camping this week in the north of England and who came up to Glasgow for the afternoon to see us. Having heard their tales of collapsed tents and snapped tent poles following Hurricane Katia's antics earlier in the week, I am very grateful for the Stately Pile, as even though we are trying to leave I am very thankful for solid walls and home comforts. We started off in a coffee shop and had some delicious cake, then as we only had a few hours and L fancied some Charles Rennie Mackintosh, we went to the subject of today's photo, the Willow Tea Rooms (can you see a theme emerging? Actually I was restrained and didn't have cake here, as we were planning an early dinner before they got their train back to their hopefully-still-standing tent). After that we met up with HD after he finished work and went to the city centre branch of Cafe Andaluz for tapas. The food was fantastic, not expensive, and I finished off with a chocolate and ginger mousse of which every last calorie was absolutely perfect. I'll definitely try and go there again, we really enjoyed it. Definitely recommended.
