Today I miss the city..

You see, the thing about days off is well there boring when you have no money, its raining and everybody else is working! However in the city these issues don't really effect your day, well apart from the rain but hey that doesn't really stop me!

So today as I still lie in bed, (although I have been up) I take refuge from just watching tv all days. I've tried to take part in many activities such as drawing, (epic fail, as it makes me realise how rubbish I am, which goes on to stress me out about life, which we'll leave for another day I think.) Watching a film - lost patience,  eat - felt fat, (fatter to stay politically correct). Its just been a waste of a day.

So as I've taken refuge to re-inventing my blog, with a little spring clean and a ploy for new followers. Am going to tell you about a little day I had in Glasgow which makes me smile, especially on days like today when I would have taken to exploring when left with nothing else to do.

Beautiful flats in the west end! Hopefully I'll live there one day!

I had set my alarm on the idea that I would be touring the west end the following day, embarrassingly I had never been to the west of Glasgow, shocking I know but for you that don't. The west is the nice bit, all cities have a West, all vintage and amazing charity shops and well the nicest coffee and food, so right up my street :) Instead of boring you with text and going to show you through my finest photography, keep you interested right?

I love Vintage shop windows. Everything is so pretty! Most say no photos please but I did my sly camera trick ;) although pretty hard to hide an Iphone! 

The thing about Vintage that I love the most is the story behind every item, some turn there nose up at the idea that somebody has wore it before but frankly I think its endearing, its had a life, its been worn through good times and bad, somebody was promoted wearing that shirt, proposed too in that dress. Certainly makes me smile :) Although somebody could have died in that jumper, yikes!! Ruined that moment of poeticness ;)

Some sheds, I don't know why but I found them interesting and inspiring. Pretty little picture!

The famous Ashton Lane of Byers road.. I looked like a right tourist taking this picture but I love the sign how its old and a little worn, the lane also has those wonderful cobble floor, a nightmare in heels but it always makes me image the olden days when there were horses and carts and markets.

I liked this picture because I reminded me of paris, with the red chairs and the big signs. 

A bigger idea of how the lane looks :)

               Just a country girl stuck in the big bad city! Shopping bags at hand and coffee to pass the day!

How do you spend your days off?
