Tagged G, this week’s challenge by Frizz, reminded me of visiting Glasgow some years ago. My husband’s grandfather hopped on a ship about 1911, arrived in Australia and made a new life here. He stowed away we think, because we cannot find any record of his journey, as passenger or crew. We spent a few days in Glasgow, caught up with some ‘cousins’ and a few city sights. As an architect my husband had to see some of the works of famous architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, including his Willow Tea Rooms, and iconic Art Nouveau design. We loved the Kelvingrove art gallery and museum, and the wonderful Glasgow Central Station.
