Welcome back to my blog! Sorry for being absent for so long, his past month has been SO busy (piano exams, essays, etc) but I finally have a post for you, and a long one at that .
This week, I spent 4 days in Glasgow, staying with my sister, Laura . I honestly had such a great time, I wish I could've stayed longer, but she has essays to write too . Boo, university .
When I initially arrived, we went to get something to eat (the bus journey is so long, I was starving!) at Ask Italian, and I had 'Spaghetti con le Melanzane', so basically spaghetti with aubergines .
Afterwards we went to Cineworld to see 'Cinderella' which I enjoyed more than I expected! I wasn't planning on going to see this movie, but I'm glad I did, because it was a nice lighthearted movie, and beautiful to watch, too . Plus, two of the central characters are from Downton Abbey (Rose and Daisy), so that was a bonus ;) .
The next day, we headed to the Kelvin Grove Museum . It was so beautiful, and had so many different things to see, there's something to interest everyone! Although, some of the modern art was a bit... you know how modern art can be .
We were also in time for the organ recital at 1pm, which was lovely .
We then visited a few of the shops along the West End, my favourite of which was a store called 'Papyrus' . I'd never even heard of it, but it was lovely! It was similar to Paperchase, but better (if that's possible) . Afterwards we went to 'TriBeCa' for lunch .
The food was AH-MA-ZING . My sister and I both had cheeseburgers which were sooo good, and that's coming from someone who's not a big beef - eater .
The best part of the lunch was probably the milkshakes, though . They were called 'Blizzard Shakes', or something along those lines . I had a bounty milkshake, which was SO good, possibly even better than pistachio milkshakes . And I LOVE pistachio milkshakes (I know, I said milkshake loads) .
Finally, we went to the Botanic Gardens . Luckily, the weather brightened up just in time for us to go there (I knew it would! Am I psychic?) .
It's honestly like a jungle inside, which means it is very warm . It had loads of beautiful statues though (pictured above is a statue of Eve) . I don't really have much else to say about it... I mean, how much can you say about plants? It was very lovely though .
On my last two days, we did some shopping on Buchanan street, which I didn't take any pictures of, as I didn't think you'd find it particularly exciting . Although, I bought a ceramic pineapple, which I dropped (and smashed) in Forever 21 . Tragedy .
Again, sorry for being gone so long! From now on, I should be posting every Sunday, with the occasional mid - week post .
Leave me a comment if you'd like to see anything in particular next week! (Perhaps a haul...?)
