Some of you may remember, a few years back I took a memorable trip to Scotland with friends. Excellent!
I did spend the end of the trip in Glasgow, before the airplane trip back to the midwest.
I enjoyed the ornate, decorative look to things, and the way the architecture looks back to very vintage times.
Simple and luxurious.
I promised myself when I came back that I'd try to continue some of the activities from the trip.
A cocktail in the evening.
Dinner by candlelight in small glass tea light holders.
A sip of tea in the afternoons.
Sometimes I remember, sometimes I get too busy and I forget or postpone them.
Travel broadens. It changes things.
How to think about the speed of life, the things that are important.

Oh I so agree about what travel does with broadening you perspective. And, I too try to keep some of those UK based traditions in my life. For example, in Australia, we had the tea room. We didn't go for a 'break' we went for tea. So civilized and relaxing. I think we need to allow ourselves the time to have a break with a little 'ceremony' like candles, a pot of tea (not a teabag), and a jug of cream.
My family is originally from Glasgow! Not the nicest city, though, but I really loved my trip to Scotland too!
LeAnn, I like the idea of the "tea break" - I must make a mental effort to include that in the day. Around about 3:30 pm I'm ready for a little pot of tea myself.
Sue, I liked the parts of Glasgow I saw in the couple of days we were there, it happened to be a time when a huge art show was set up and I trolled the tents in the park, people were everywhere celebrating art!
