I love this city
6:49 pm on the 16th of October, 2002I’ve not even been here for 3 weeks yet but already I’m calling it home.
There was nothing wrong with Dunbar but this is just comething else.
(almost)Everything about it I like, the people, the buildings, the parks, the layout, the course I’m studying, everyone else who’s come form outside of Glasgow.
There are some bad bits about it but every city has them (like the bus that got its windscreen shot out last week). But today really made me appreceiate what a beautiful city Glasgow is. It was a beautiful moring, not a cloud in the sky, sun shining and no wind.
On my way back from Uni I was going to take the bus but as I was walking up Queen Margaret Drive I passed the Botanical Gardens and just had to go in, they’re only wee but I spent about half an hour wandering thorough and onto some street that I dont know the name of and had never been along before but I didn’t care - it was gorgeous weather.
I kept walking in the general direction I thought the halls were in through streets lined with victorian houses and eventually made it to the Forth Clyde Canal and started walking along that. I would have had no idea were I was except for the numbers on the locks, the first one I got to I couldn’t quite make out the number until I was about 100 yards away but before I got that close I has seen a familiar building and it was a total shock, it was Lock 27, a pub about 10-15 minutes walk from my halls (but in the opposite direction to Uni) so somehow I had stumbled on a route that took about the same time it normally takes me to get from uni but I had been walking at about half my normal pace and I had ended up a decent distance from halls. I went inside and found a whole load of vets from my halls so had a quick pint then went home and did some work, had the best meal I’ve had since I’ve got here and now I’m going back to the lock to watch the England game.
All in all a good day!
