Today was actually warm enough to only wear 1 jacket to the train station to catch the train to Glasgow, rather than 2 jackets like the previous 5 days.
Our hotel in Glasgow seems good. We paid a bit extra for an outward looking room and found that this entitled us to free drinks from our mini bar and access to the executive lounge.
We arrived at lunchtime and went to a famous tearoom designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh around the start of the 1900 s. We had a traditional afternoon tea with the works for lunch. We wandered around following a trail from the Lonely Planet guide book about old buildings in Glasgow, ending at the cathedral. It was grey and imposing on the outside , very gothicy, but ok on the inside. Not as appealing as Norwich, but still interesting. Most of the many stained glass windows were relatively new, made soon after ww2.
After our exertions we partook of the french wines in the executive lounge and soon after had our Sainsburys salads for dinner.
