Today we took the train to Glasgow. Our intention was to wander around and find many of the buildings designed or influenced by Charles Rennie Mackintosh but as it was pouring with rain we made our way as quickly as we could to Glasgow School of Art where we took the official tour of the building. It was superb with most of the original detailed features in place and we learned the reasons behind the design. A great tour.

Afterwards we made our way to the Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchihall Street and had lunch with, of course, tea. To sit in this space, which in itself is a work of art, munching on delicate sandwiches off plates with a Mackintosh design and drinking tea - heaven.

Mid afternoon found us back on the train and then meeting up with Tony &amp; Jude
