Glasgow - day 2

Meeting at the SECC in the morning where I demonstrated once again that I can be too chatty at times... The 2.5 hours went by very quickly indeed. Then a short stop at the Riverside Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid which now houses the exhibits from the Transport Museum. Great location on the river and I would definitely recommend the exhibition not least as it's free.

And last stop was the House of an Art Lover. The design of the house is based on a competition entry by Charles Rennie Mackintosh from 1901. He actually got disqualified as he submitted some of the drawings late. Then in 1989, the House of an Art Lover was built and is now an art gallery and exhibition space with a restaurant and set within the Bellahouston Park. I foolishly didn't take photos but check out the website for the absolutely stunning interior!

And yes, the weather was actually good in Glasgow!

My kind of salad: with scallops, chorizo and black pudding - delicious!

Spent the afternoon in the city centre, including the Gallery of Modern Art (bottom right)
