A Tale of Two Trains Well, it’s not much of a tale, as today it was time to travel home again, which would take most of the day… And yet I still managed to squeeze in a brewery visit: Werewolf Beer. #GlasgowTrip2026 #Glasgow #Scotland #CraftBeer #coffee #train #flightfree #London […]

Level 2 is the garden and common spaces (laundry room, workshop, garden […]

Free First Friday Last day in Glasgow, and spending most of it just outside of it: a visit to Holmwood House, and on the opposite side of town to Two Towns Down Brewery in Paisley, both by First buses, for free! The evening was spent in another of my favourite bars, Inn Deep. #GlasgowTrip2026 […]
