Glasgow Riverside - Summer events

After a long wait, the fabulous looking new Transport Museum has (re-)opened in Glasgow on the banks of the Clyde.  Daddy Wild is quite keen to go so it won't be long til I post a review on here from a kiddies point of view for you all.

In the meantime, I discovered that there are loads of things happening on the riverside to coincide with the museum opening, including a riverside regatta, a seafood festival, a new Rat Race location (oh I long to be fit enough!), and drive-in movies!  Have a peek here for the full line up.


But most exciting of all for my emerging enthusiasm for revisiting my own childhood fantasies is The Forgotten Island, just beside the Transport Museum.  It sounds fantastic - a growing, temporary space for kids to interact and participate with.  It sounds a bit mysterious, so I have signed up for their emails with clues and news, and hopefully shall be bringing it to life for you to find out more here in the coming weeks.  It disappears on the 18th September, so I'll get to get a move on and go soon so I can revisit and see the changes before it ends in September.
