The Haven comes to Glasgow.............

..................Yes, Linda was in Glasgow and we met up for lunch!!

It's funny - any time i'm with Linda now seems to be spent on "Skye Time!". A slower pace and a bit of quiet for us both. 
I dropped Peter off at college and headed into town. For some reason (maybe because i  - in my head - had switched myself to the slower pace) - the buses and the cars and general hubub seemed to be so much noiser than usual. 

I wanted my peaceful place!!!!!!!


So we met just before 12 and headed to the Enable Office. I needed to check up on something and Linda was keen to meet some of the folk we talk about. So intros done, a bit of chat and we went off for lunch. They knew JUST where we were going.

KIMBLES!!!

Linda has heard me talk about the place and i always get her box of choccies from there when we go to visit. They have a deli as well as the choc shop and a cafe. Food is gorgeous and the menu is good.

We opted for a bowl of soup each (sweet Potato and Chilli - not too hot, but enough of a kick). 
And we had a cheese and fruit platter to share. Well - it was a bit different from a sandwich and it was yummy. Normally it's served with oatcakes, but we asked if we could have bread instead - no problem. 
It was sooo tasty and the chutney was delish!!! 

No - i didn't take photos - we were too busy scoffing it all to think of feasting YOUR eyes on our lunch!!! But i MIGHT do it next time!!!!
We also had some apple, pear and grapes on the plate as well.
And we sat and caught up and generally enjoyed!!

Next thing we knew, Peter and Lauren had arrived at out table. They had been at art class and decided to pay Kimbles a visit for tea. Best bit was that the grown ups paid!!! It was nice for Linda to meet Lauren as well and she caught up with Peter.

But our time went far too fast - we could have spent another 2 hours there and it wouldn't have been long enough. 
It was nice in the middle of all the bustle to have a bit of calm!!!

Mind you - at one point we heard a noise - it sounded a bit like gunshots (but was prob just something falling!!) Linda said "that sounded ominous". My reply was that i didn't really care what the noise was - i was enjoying my lunch too much!!!!

So that is us.
 Peter's toe continues to improve. We were at the clinic on tuesday and they said we could just continue to dress is on our own till the wound heals up. Plenty of dressings and the clinic phone number if needed, but to be honest, we're most likely just as quick heading to our GP.

I will leave you with the thoughts of our bread, cheese and chutney!!!!
