Glasgow High Street Shopping

UntitledMonday found us taking the train to Queen Street station for a day of shopping. Mari was on a mission to find a certain piece of Scottish stoneware, depicting a mountain we hiked past earlier this trip. We went to House of Fraser on Buchanan Street, a Glasgow fixture. A Edwardian aged six story building with a central gallery open in the middle with a glass ceiling to let in natural light. The department we wanted is on the top floor and we headed for the stairs. As we neared the top floor, the lights in the building went out. All power off, the staff began evacuating us back down the stairs. Guess the hill climbing we did last week was just practice for today.
Back out on the street, we wandered the shopping district, checking back periodically, but the lights stayed off for the rest of the day. More shopping before heading home to Margaret's for tea.

Joe found the Tardis on Buchanan Street, who knew it sold ice cream.
