and look what caught my eye...the Knitted Village...absolutely stunning and the detail was mind boggling...
before we headed across the way to The Hydro...
the 13,000 crowd nearly took the roof off the building when the gorgeous Mickey Bubbles arrived on stage and treated us all to over 2 hours of sensational Buble favourites...a truly fabulous rocking and rolling experience I will never forget but I'm not going to bore you with all the "didn't come out as well as I hoped" photos...those strobe lights may be great for effect but they don't half play havoc with your camera but I did manage to get a little video of one of my favourite MB songs....Save The Last Dance For Me...

and it pains me to tell you that my lovely buddy Allison actually touched his hand on his "meet the fans" walkabout...not that I'm jealous or anything but my face has now turned a peculiar shade of green...lucky lucky girl. He didn't want to leave and neither did we...you made 13,000 folks very happy Mickey Bubbles...we love you and yes you were "fricking awesome".
I had a great night's sleep no doubt dreaming of you know who and a hearty Full English before I set off on my planned retail therapy marathon...arrived at Argyle Street...one of Glasgow's premier shopping streets at 10.00am to find it deserted...where was everyone...
before I tackled the short walk up to George Square and another rest stop before heading to the station to catch my train back home...
Obviously my old legs can't keep up with my "she thinks she's still a young thing" brain...perhaps I should be acting my age instead of my shoe size...well that ain't gonna happen and despite the feeling right now that I may never walk properly again...would I do it again...you bet your life I would...NO PAIN...NO GAIN....haste ye back to Scotland Michael...I'm sure I'll be fine after a couple of days of warm baths and lots of horse linament. But the brain seems to have joined the dottery old lady party...I need to consult the calendar because I have absolutely no idea which day of the week it is...
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx

ReplyDeletewow Kath - looks like a totally awesome day - thanks for sharing the video - and for all your news - it was particularly nice to see the streets of Glasgow - I lived there for a couple of years in what seems like a different life but I loved the vibrancy of the city. Don't recall the hydro though! Big hugs to you xx
ReplyDeleteObviously you had a great time. Thanks for the video looks like you had great seats. I went to see Bryan Ferry last October and had VIP tickets and met him for photos and chat. What a night.I'll never forget it. Such a lovely man !!x

ReplyDeleteI like that knitted village
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, lovely photos, I've not been down since they started the Hydro so great to see it all lit up at night. So glad you the show was fantastic but I don't think he would ever disappoint an audience would he? It must have taken ages to knit that gorgeous village, everything looks so cute. Speaking of gorgeous, what about this lovely sunshine we're getting just now, roll on summer time...Trish
ReplyDeleteThe knitted village is just fabulous. Thanks for sharing your photos with us and the little vid of the Man! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThat knitted village must have been a labour of love. What a feat! Thanks for sharing your night out with us here, looks like you had a great night and quiet visit in the town. Glasgow must have been treating you gently after all the excitement of the night before, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Glasgow tomorrow, near George square too, but not so much fun for me though, I'm attending a work meeting there. :o(
