Simply..visiting old friends....

9/9/2021

A walk through the Botanic Gardens, a meal sitting outside on a warm evening in Byer's Road, a visit to Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery to view some of my favourite paintings, breakfast in their cafe which had just opened again that morning, and the purchase of a pair of cosy gloves from the museum shop.

It was only 24 hours but it felt like a long weekend and I enjoyed every minute!

Almost 'normal'.

Much-loved places for me too, Freda. The West End is always my first port of call when I come back to Glasgow.

Beautiful photographs, Freda they make the familiar seem new and make me want to visit Kelvingrove again.

They have made some interesting changes while they have been closed...

What's not to love. Art. A Byer Road cafe. Exploring. A splash of colour.

There's so much that's stimulating about a civic art gallery, starting with the sheer size of the rooms! Then there's the combination of old favourites and new acquisitions or at least new arrangements to stimulate the eye and mind. Sometimes it takes a temporary exhibition to prompt usto make the effort, like you with Joan Eardley, then we wonder why we've left it so long!

It is a rich heritage here in Britain. The scale is magnificent in Kelvingrove!
