By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #ironwork #dragon #architecture #glasgowbuildings #pollokshields

Et voilà! Overnight oats topped with port stewed rhubarb. Made again as I forgot to photograph the pots we had when recording on Sunday morning. Love how you can see the layer of honey through the oats. Returned to bed to eat it, looking at the sky on this gorgeous sunny morning & lazing around.
