Winter Palace
Alan and I attended a family gathering at the Winter Palace in Glasgow Green last night. Superb location if a little draughty in corners.
The night was for my cousin Colin who had married his long-term girlfriend Liz in Las Vegas last year. It was great to see the extended family for a celebration rather than a funeral.
Wore the kilt and for once was in with a crowd. It seems more and more Scots are returning to "traditional" dress for weddings.
The band wasn't bad and just when I was thinking they were stuck in the 60s and 70s, they did versions of Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs' hits. Well, versions is perhaps being kind. :)
Highlight of the night - possibly the taxi-ride home with my sister and her boyfriend listening to Alan's plans to open a Sponsor-A-Giraffe website!
