Delis in the West End – Pat’s guide
One of the things I really enjoy about the West End is the abundance of great delicatessens and speciality food shops – where you can find just about everything ‘to go!’ I am going to start this section by highlighting some of my favourites and I will build it up as I go along. Remember, […]

From Paris to Glasgow West End – another great summer.
It’s been a brilliant summer with lots of lovely sunny days – I’ve been many places and spent a lot of time with friends and family, both in Glasgow and further afield. A special treat was having my sister, niece and brother in law home from Canada. We had a great get together with all […]

Leisurely Days and Lovely Jaunts
We’ve been so lucky with the weather lately and the sunshine has been ideal for enjoying Glasgow’s festivals, cafes and parks and for adventures further afield. The sun shone at the Mela in Kelvingrove Park, where thousands came out to enjoy Scotland’s biggest multicultural festival. It was colourful, lively and the atmosphere was fantastic. The […]

It’s Summertime in Glasgow
May just flew in between going to classes, meeting up with friends, entertaining family and we even managed a holiday. I’ve also been enjoying the West End Festival and hanging about in cafes enjoying the lovely weather. Way back at the beginning of May, Jim and I set off on a trip to the Costa […]

Coffee and Craic
Feasger math, and welcome to my first blog post. I’ve been learning the Gaelic language for almost a year now – I’ve never experienced anything so intimidating in my life. The first time I walked into Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu (Glasgow Gaelic School), for my initial learning session, I saw a mix of letters that I’d […]

Blue Skies and Perfect Glasgow Days
A little bit of sunshine fairly gives you a lift and I’ve been out and about a lot and busy, busy. It’s been a long time coming but even when there’s a wee nip in the air, the blue skies are very welcome. Sunshine Days It was delightful to sit outside Rio’s on Saturday morning, […]

Still waiting for Spring in Glasgow
February just whizzed by in a combination of pleasure and panic and now I find we’re half way through March. I’m delighted with our new website design but it’s been quite a challenge trying to get to grips with the different systems. It’s hard to believe that the website was first launched way back in 1999 […]

New Year, New Start.
I’ve been trying to give myself a bit of a shake and write my blog but it’s been a very dismal month. Christina Byrne, my mother-in-law, died on 17th December, so it was a very sad Christmas. She had been ill for a while with a heart condition and had been waiting for treatment. Sadly, […]

Autumn Already!
I should have had this blog up weeks ago but I’ve been so busy this last month and now I hardly know where to start. Probably the best place would be at the Olympics as it was such a highlight. We were glued to the television at every opportunity and also thoroughly enjoyed the Paralympics. […]

University Cafe: Spring has sprung
What is the first genuine indicator of authentic spring in the West End? Is it buds on the trees or the arrival of particular breeds of duck in Kelvingrove Park? No, in fact it?s the four feet high ice cream cone placed on the pavement outside the University Cafe near the foot of Byres Road […]

Glasgow is Capital of Curry
Nice to see Mother India owner Monir Mohammed along with Balbir Singh Sumal and Satty Singh as three of the four ambassadors for Glasgow in the recent UK Curry Capital competition (the other local representative was Fattah Haddad, owner of the highly-regarded KoolBa in town) ? and all the nicer because the city won Britain’s […]

A Star is Born: Pakistani Cafe
For me the most exciting new arrival on the local restaurant scene this year has been the opening of Pakistani Cafe at the foot of Byres Road ? on a site which has played host to a seemingly endless stream of dining propositions which didn?t make it. There was (in no particular order) Beetlejuice, Gordon […]
