Nardini’s Café on Byres Road…

Hello my friends! Nardini’s is one of my family’s favourite places for coffee, ice-cream and sweet treats in Glasgow. Situated on Byres Road, in West End, it carries the feeling of traditional presented in a modern way. My daughter absolutely loves it too and has croissants there every weekend with her daddy. The staff is so friendly that last weekend, although the shop was closed for refurbishment, they opened the doors so their little costumer could have her croissant as usual. She cannot wait to go back next weekend!

I also have to say that the ice-cream is absolutely devine with flavours that you would not be able to find anywhere else. They even do an Irn-Bru flavour as a tribute to their Scottish environment. I think my favourite is Honeycomb Explosion! You can check out the café here.

What is your favourite place for ice-cream and coffee in Glasgow?

The Artist in the Grosvenor Cinema, Glasgow…

Hi guys! I finally managed to go out on a date on Friday woohoo! We chose to see “The Artist” at the Grosvenor Cinema in the glamorous and super cool West End of Glasgow. I had such a great time. The movie was superb (can I adopt that dog? What a cutie!) and I was able to relax and enjoy it in the comfy couch at the back of the cinema room. Civilisation! Boys if you have an important date…the couch is a must!

Which movie did you see lately?

A day at the Aquarium…

Happy 2012!!! I have had a very nice time with my family and have been taking all the rest in the world during the holidays enjoying great food and even greater wine! Today we decided to go to the Aquarium at the Loch Lomond Shores and we had an absolute great time! I was more excited about the fish than all the children in there and went on the Carousel and had a very nice banana cake at the coffee shop there. What a great day that was!

Oh I have also had a change in my looks! Can you notice the difference?

The Boat House in Loch Lomond…

This where I was last Sunday before the heavy snow covered Glasgow. We went with my family to the Boat House near Loch Lomond for lunch. You can find their website here. The environment was absolutely superb, the decoration of the place was completely my style, and the food was very good too. We had the paella and the wine mussels.

I could also imagine myself spending lazy Sunday afternoons having tea and cakes and reading magazines and newspapers in their lounge area. We will be returning there a lot… Enjoy the photos!

Which is your favourite restaurant/cafe/bar?

Woody Allen…

I decided today to tell you about the book I am currently reading. It is called “Complete Prose” by Woody Allen and it is so funny I cannot stop laughing out loud every couple of lines. I have read many books (and when I say many I mean MANY) but I cannot recall any book that has had me laughing so much so often. I love Woody Allen films but I did not know that there was a book out also. The humour in the book is kind of wicked (as Woody Allen humour often is)! I still have not watched his new film called “Midnight in Paris” and cannot wait. I will try to go on a movie date next week with my Colin.

 

 

 

 

 

Have you seen the new film? What did you think? Have you read the book? Are you a Woody Allen fan like me?

Autumn in Glasgow…

Autumn is very beautiful in Glasgow. The leaves on the chestnut trees take the most amazing colors and it is such a joy to visit the beautiful Botanic Gardens. I like to take a walk in the Botanics every day watching the squirrels run across my path with their feather light tails, look at the extraordinary colors of the leaves and take it all in as if it was a big painting of a great artistic.

How does your city look in autumn?
