Wearing - Arket Jacket [gifted] | Paul Smith Long Sleeve T-Shirt + Sneakers, Folk Trousers, Fair Ends Cap
I've had a copy of
this blog post in my drafts folder for about a month. I've written two in total, but I wasn't particularly thrilled with either, which is weird
because I had a blast on my recent trip up to Glasgow. Maybe it's a case
of leaving the words too long, or maybe it's a case of not actually
feeling mega confident with my writing of late. I've spent soooo much
time working on images lately it seems I've forgotten how to put words
next to each.
So
in light of this slight writer's block I'm going to get the images do
most of the talking this time. "Booo, what a cop out" you may think, but
hey, do more of what feels right. Right?
Where We Stayed
Two
night's spent at The Principal's Grand Central [press stay] was just
what the doctor ordered. The location was bang on, right at the side of
Glasgow Central Station, and the room was ideal for me and Jordan in two
single beds.. Really spacious and comfy rooms, with a stellar bathroom and a cool view
of the city's Southside. I tried to book a third night, due to all the
trains out of Glasgow being cancelled, but sadly it was all booked up. A
good sign though!
Where We Ate
This
isn't an exaggeration in saying that Glasgow's food and drink scene is
incredible. Never have I been to a city in the UK with such a passion
for it; the variation of food styles, the meticulous details they put
into their interiors, the sheer amount of space places popping up - and
the passion follows suit. Highlights - Alchemilla, Gnom with Jordan's friend Nicole, Betty's Good Times Roll,
Ramen Dayo, Paesano Pizza.
Where We Hung Out
We
saw a lot of the city, and to stay it's changed since the last time I
visited is an understatement. Our long list of recommendations took us to
been before, and some places that have been on my "must visit" list for
ages. We had plenty of time dedicated to meeting up with old and new
friends, with local photographer Alex James sparing a whole afternoon to
show us around some spots he knew we would love. Highlights - W2 Store,
Drygate Brewery, The Lighthouse, The Good Coffee Cartel, Laboratorio Coffee.
Until the next city break.

Glasgow looks awesome! You do have a knack for tracking down the coolest places in a city.
