Glasgow Meet Up - 7 June 2014

After last weeks meet up in London, it was the turn of Glasgow to host its first Philofaxy meet up.

I travelled up by train on the Friday and as this was my first ever visit to Glasgow, I had time after checking in to my hotel for a quick walk around the city centre to get my bearings and see what was where.

On the Saturday morning I waited at Queen Street Station for Laurie to arrive and we had a time for a quick coffee before joining the rest of the people at the nearby restaurant. As always it was lovely to catch up with Laurie and chat about a few things before we went to the main event.

I had a few items with me to give away and they were all snapped up quickly, which lightened my carrying load for the rest of the day :)

I had met one or two people before at previous events, but about half of the people were new to me, but we quickly introduced ourselves and we were showing each other organisers on our table tucked in the corner of the restaurant.

Unfortunately after lunch is started to rain, although we had all come prepared for rain so it didn't stop us visiting Paperchase, John Lewis and The Pen Shop.

Glasgow has a lot of shops on its main street and the ones leading off of it and unlike Edinburgh it didn't seem as hilly!

Time beat us as usual unfortunately and by about 6pm most people had to start looking for their trains home. I had another night in the hotel before I travelled south again on Sunday.

And some pictures of the day...
