Headlining King Tut's!

I had one quiet, lazy day at home in Tavistock, not even watering my plants since it was raining then drove to Glasgow to see all 3 of my children. I stayed with Freya and Fergus which was all a bit of a student experience since Nella also had 2 Uni friends visiting and Fergus’s flat does not have a hoover. 

We did not “do” much, no sightseeing, just our typical mooching around in charity shops and coffee shops. I dragged the girls along to a Mossarium making workshop at Tramway Arts Centre. I had imagined artsy little glass domes filled with moss and tiny plants but it was actually a children’s workshop involving plastic cups decorated with plasticine snails. It passed the time and made a change.

Glasgow is such a fun and diverse city. Friendly drunks outside Freya’s flat spoke to Nessie. I visited a World food supermarket, enjoyed Irn Bru, got a square sausage and tattie scone in a Glasgow roll, and met Ellen for a lovely Tapas supper.

On Friday night I went to King Tut’s to see Fergus’s band, “Amplehouse” play as the headliners. It was the best performance they have ever given. There were 5 new songs on the set list, it was packed out and the energy of the crowd was amazing. The boys clearly loved every minute, grinning as they shredded their guitars. 

Everyone was a bit jaded the next day, not hungover, just tired and suffering from colds so we just loafed around, occasionally tramping up and down multiple flights of stairs to take Nessie outside. 

Fergus and Nella came back down to Devon in my Mini on Sunday and will entertain themselves during the day when I am back at work. It feels like summer is coming to an end as the brambles are ready to pick and the hawthorn trees are laden with berries. My summer pots are looking a bit scruffy so I might think about some autumnal plants.
