Glasgow break

We spent the weekend in Glasgow, which was absolutely great. Apart from passing through to get to the airport, I had never been there before, which is a bit shameful considering we have now been living in Scotland for 11 years.
We house swapped as usual. That's how we have arranged all our holidays for the past four years and it is a great (and cheap) way of having holidays, particularly if you have children. We are members of Intervac and usually house swap three or four times a year. The longer holidays we go abroad but it's nice to swap for a weekend with others in Scotland.
Anyway, Glasgow was superb. We went to the reopened Kelvingrove and had a great time looking at all the stuffed animals. Then we went to the Museum of Transport, which may have been one museum too far as far as DS2 was concerned. On a positive note, it did have a display of all the vehicles used in Balamory, which kept him moving around. Then we went shoe shopping for me and I bought a great pair of surprisingly flat heeled boots from Jones the Bootmaker (not cheap). Saturday was fantastically sunny, but Sunday tipped down all day. We went to the Burrell, which was very impressive and DH insisted on buying me a scarf from the museum shop (has he forgotten that it's my birthday next week?) before we went on to have the obligatory row in IKEA.
