Montjoye the brave is alive and well

Greetings all from grey but (sometimes) grand Glasgow.
apologies it has taken me so long to write but \i am here safe and well. This is just the first time \i have managed to get online since I arrived. Bro has a laptop with him but he is only around at sleep time and for occasional meals.

Flights and transits and stuff all went to plan. \my bag even followed me without any delay. By the time \i made it out of the duty free shop after my last flight- there was my bag on the carosel. 

For 

mrsbrown and sneetch\;  (can you tell this keyboard does not have the shift key where \i am used to?)
-Arrived terminal 4 at Heathrow. For transits to other flights you just follow the signs to flight connections rather than heading with the bulk of people to border control. Do check which terminal your next flight goes from, they are changing this around a bit while terminal 5 comes on stream. \if your next flight goes from a terminal other than the one you arrived in, there will be a bus to transfer you. Again, just follow the signs. There are also staff herding people in the right direction.
- when you get to the next terminal there will be a passport check of some type. \not british border control. I am not sure exactly what it entails 'cause that is not what \i did. Again, this is easy and well signposted. \hope sneetch finds it all as easy as I did. Actually it was good. Far smaller queues than doing full customs for a London arrival.

I could write lots about what I have seen, what to tell? Highlights so far:
-GREEN trees, whew this is good to see. 
-Charles Rennie Mackintosh stuff- School of Art, interiors from one of his houses. Hope to get to Hill house this afternoon.
-visited Provands Lordship this morning- oddly named but is the oldest house in Glasgow, built in 15th C. Furnishings are mostly 17th C but \i took lots of pics. Some cool stuff. My favourites were an appealing tall, square brazier and a chair that converts to a table. Like many places, most of the items were not labelled, frustrating.
-Underneath Glasgow Cathedral is a lovely white vaulted room called "Blacader's aisle". Makes you wonder if this provided some inspiration for a certain TV series?
-really good ale on tap. Lets not talk about the food.

I'm here until Friday afternoon when we head to Edinburgh. My phone has roamed nicely thankyou so if anyone for some reason needs to get a quick message to me, that is the best way. No idea when I will next be online.  Now I shall see how much of your posts \i can read before I run out of credit. Hope all is good back home.
