Curiosity went down to the woods and had a surprise.

Magic Walks at 81 No 6. Mysterious Stones in Glasgow. Victoria Park.

Glasgow is a new city for me so my hobby and exercise routine has become exploring all its green spaces. And it has surprised me how many there are. It is apparently the second greenest city in the UK.  Not the image I had of Glasgow! Is it yours? Map of Glasgow’s green spaces. This time …
