In the past I, Sheelagh, have been heard to say some critical things about Glasgow. No longer. On this trip I learned Glasgow gave the western world the tea room. In 1871, a tea importer decided to place a few tables and chairs in his shop so that ladies, being tempted to the city centre by the new fangled department stores, could rest and refresh themselves with cups of tea. The concept took off. The city that gave us such a wonderful idea can do no wrong in my book and I will not hear a word against it.
I'm pleased to see you acknowledge the error of your ways. We had such an enjoyable time in Glasgow that it was a mystery why it wasn't popular with you two. Winter has unleashed an icy blast in our general direction. Brrrr!
