here is a lovely set of stained glass windows.
and me standing in front of them.
here is the ceiling above...
and the doors...
and just to see them to scale...
this is the main building of Glasgow University...
we are on our way to the Huntarian Museum
It's all free folks, if you ever wander this way....
I did try not to dance down this stairway...
I imagine that Annamaria would not have been able to resist..
through the opening to the quadrangle...
all very 'Morse'
Yes the gates say 1451. The Roman empire did not finally collapse until a few years later.
the round reading room, which was a) round, b) closed,
We were too late to go in as we had eaten a rather nice cake.
Alan studied here for two of his three degrees.
He boxed for the university team.
the new buildings are not up to much.
but they have lovely lawns with reading slabs.
Glasgow university, height of the summer...
The huntarian getting ready for our event.
The audience getting crammed in.
the panel getting ready, you will recognise the other two I am sure...
Craig has been asked a question, he is looking for inspiration
Happy writers
I would like to point out that all the writers had been up all night watching the election. We were wearing red, blue and tartan!! We had back up authors with us in case we broke down with exhaustion. The event was sponsored by a gin company!
Beautiful !

They just don't make 'em like they used to! (Buildings or writers? Hmm...)
ReplyDeleteOh, Caro, how beautiful! I'm sorry I did not see the University when I was in Glasgow. I was too focused on Charles Rennie McIntosh when I was there.
ReplyDeleteYou have me pegged. I am impulsive, and when it comes to dancing probably compulsive. Next time I come we will dance on those stairs together. You will be Shirley Temple, and I will be Bojangles.

Craig, Michael and you all look to be in fine spirits in such august surroundings, though I must say with all those door shots at the beginning I was for sure expecting a Jimi Hendrix reference.
