Sunday brunch at Nick’s…

_MG_0088

It was Sunday. Not just any Sunday though…before that it was Saturday and before that it was Friday. I know you know this. What you do not know is that on Friday night we went out partying! Until 5pm…after a long, long, long time! And then it was Saturday and we went to a dinner party. We had a fantastic time and left early…well compared to the previous night I mean…it was only 2 am.

We woke up on Sunday morning, and I felt so hungry…mmmmmm! I wanted some poached eggs…with mushrooms, toast and maybe bacon. Some tomatoes would not be declined either! And my mum, who is visiting for a few days, wanted a lovely hot mocha and cake. My lovely man proposed a place I had not been at before…Nick’s on Hyndland road. I said “Are you sure? This is an Italian restaurant darling!” “Just trust me”, he said. “It is a very nice place and they will have lots of things that you will like”. Mmmmm…my stomach could not resist the temptation. So we went in…We all loved the atmosphere, the staff was very friendly and attentive but the food,coffee and dessert were what I enjoyed so much!

Mum was amazed (which is quite rare as she is a difficult person to please!).

Hanoi Bike Shop Restaurant with mummy Sofia…

Untitled

It is this time of the year when mummy arrives from Corfu! We go shopping, we go eating, we go promenading and have mother-daughter fun. Sometimes it is hard as she never brings her glasses and she cannot read a thing so I have to read every little thing on the menu for her. However, all and all I love having her around as I do not see her often enough. She will be around for Christmas too! Double joy!

So yesterday we went to the Hanoi Bike Shop in the West End of Glasgow for lunch. It serves really lovely Vietnamese food and a completely unique environment. The whole place is designed like a bike shop and it is so cleverly made. I love such design concepts! The staff is so great and service is very fast! I had the summer rolls which I cannot recommend highly enough.

Going out in Glasgow…

IMG_1441

I know I have disappeared but you will understand why the next few months when I am able to show you the photos of our new house! I am so excited about it! But because I have not been online, it does not mean I have not been offline too. I have been out with my love and our friends and have had a great time on different occasions. Drinking cocktails at the Ubiquitous Chip, eating out at Pancho Villas, la Vallee Blanche, Soba bar and the wonderful wonderful Brian Maules and listening to loud bands at Maggie Mays.

The winter is here and I am wearing my woollen hat and scarf on a daily basis now. Tomorrow my mum arrives and it is all getting exciting for Christmas.

P.S. How do you like the new look of the blog?

Glasgow museum of transport

IMG_0049

 Hello my friends! I wanted to treat you to lots and lots of photos we took at the new museum of transport which we got to visit. It was a lovely thing to do, many interesting things I did not know about wheels and engines and lots of laughing moments too! I hope you enjoy the post!

Which is your favourite museum?

Rainy weekend at Darcy’s

_MG_0230
It is a typical Scottish summer :-( Raining unstoppably and creating a cellular confusion to my body (I expect it to be warm and wear summer clothes and it is cold and miserable and I wear boots!). Despite that, we decided to go to city centre last weekend for some shopping and hanging out. I also got the chance to test my new camera lens which I absolutely adore. It makes such a difference to the quality of my photos, don’t you think? Oh by the way…If you saw a flying Darcy’s balloon at the city centre, it was ours! a

What did you do last weekend?

Heads of Ayr Farm Park…A day in the sun!

_MG_2400

Wasn’t it glorious the last two weekends? We thought that summer would never come in Scotland but we did get a feel for it at least for some days. We decided to take a family trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park and I have to say I was very impressed with how well this is done. If you have a family, you are going to have a great time as you can feed the goats and the ponies and also see some more exotic animals. The children’s fun park is amazing too with lots of sand and bouncy toys.

What did you do last weekend when the sun was shining?
