Welcome to Secret Glasgow

Glasgow. We live here. We work here. We love here!

My very first blog, so why not choose something very dear to my heart? As a born and bred Glaswegian and a self-confessed experience junkie - starting to write about my personal galuvanting around this "dear green place" makes huge sense to me, at least.

Glasgow has long emerged from its murky (if only in the cliches of others) past to present a clean and glowing face to the world... full of places to see, stay, eat, snack, drink, shop, play, party, and pamper.

So, what makes Glasgow such a vibrantly reborn modern city with ancient treasures to share? What are the classics that are truly worth a visit? And, perhaps more interesting, what are the weird and wonderful things that even our local folks haven't heard too much about? …

I plan to explore all of those things and hope you'll join me for even part of the journey. Welcome aboard!

PAMPER: Oshi

Help! ...it's well into advent now (I know this coz there is a rash of little open doors all over the calendar hanging on the wall...) and I'm now facing the fact I have to head into the shops (offline and online) to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

Looking around for ideas, a lot of the women in my life are doing much more pampering these days. Trips to nail bars and spas seem to be the latest way to treat themselves in this crazy mad stressful world of ours.

I've had a string of successes for gifts by picking up one of the spa packages offered by Oshi spa lurking on a mezzanine above the restaurant of the same name in Langs hotel across from the Royal Concert Hall in the city centre of Glasgow.

I even bought one as a well-deserved "thank you" for a work colleague. I just heard that she was heading off there this week to claim her day of pampering and luxury so I'll hear her report later, but my sister and a good friend have both already claimed their gifts and raved about this place.

Hearing my colleague's news got me thinking that perhaps I should explore what else is on offer in Glasgow. What temptations could they offer too? Unusual therapies?... talented therapists?... stunning surroundings?... or just plain old-fashioned good value might be on offer? If you have any suggestions then let me have them!

And, you never know, I might be so impressed by them that I go along myself for a massage to relax away the tensions of Christmas shopping!...
