Glasgow has an amazing number of plaques and memorial, with many different designs, but this is one of my favourites. I especially like the shape and the sculpted hand.

Just a quick reminder it's door open day here in Glasgow this weekend, where you can get into buildings which aren't usually open to the public, such as the Citizen's Theatre. You can find details of everything which is on here: glasgowdoorsopendays.org.uk/

Glasgow's other Garden Show: @The_RHS set up an offshoot of their Chelsea show at Strathclyde Park in 1997. Initially visitor numbers were good but fell enough for the event to be cancelled after the third year. Very little online about this, but the events manager was a 1988...

My take on beep beep vs meep meep discourse is that it's actually *h*meep *h*meep, because it was Paul Julian's preferred spelling, who voiced the Road Runner. CHECKMATE

Having to wear hard hats today while we gave a @ScottishCinemas talk was a first for us!
Little did we know after our first visit to photograph the Broadway Prestwick, that we’d be back more than 20 years later to see real film projected on its big screen once again!

Inevitably, there is a Glasgow Garden Festival connection (how disappointing would it be if there wasn’t?): Morris and Steedman designed the canopy of the RIAS’ ‘Design under a Cloud’ exhibit at the GGF.
