A DAY IN MY LIFE | COME TO GLASGOW BARRAS WITH ME!

Cosy home life. It's Sunday and we go to Glasgow Barras which is a market place in the east end of Glasgow, a very old market place in fact.

[@janismacvicar1786]

Great to see the Barras again and Reetas i used to love that clothes shop in the 70.s xx

[@ChristinaM66]

We enjoyed it Janis, yes Reeta's was great, my friend and I always went there for clothes x

[@spikemenzies]

i remember being there as a kid late 1970s, (my mum being from Glasgow), it was exciting, stalls with punk rock stuff, posters, badges, clothing, cool toys, etc. now it looks like any other indoor market I've seen lately with stalls crammed with a pile of crap that no one wants (should be in skip..probably where they found it) and anything interesting is overpriced ?

[@ChristinaM66]

Yes it's definitely not the same, thanks for watching.

[@hankspangle3867]

It’s such a shame the place has gone down hill there use to be such stalls the towel man was my favourite and the butcher sadly both gone 😂

[@ChristinaM66]

It has changed over the years which is a shame. Thanks for watching.

Another great video Christine. Thanks for bringing us along on your trip to Glasgow. It was a trip down memory lane for me. I went to the Barras for the first time in the late 80s when I came to Edinburgh to start my nurse training, haven't been back for 30yrs. How kind of you promoting the ladies stalls, their Diamond Art cards are beautiful. The wee card with westie, looked just like your wee Maggie ❤Went to see Elvis Costello at the Barrowlands a few years back. If you & Tam feel up to it please do more videos going to other places. Maybe come to Edinburgh? Lx

[@ChristinaM66]

Thank you Linda, I will be coming to Edinburgh quite soon with my daughters x

[@peedyneep]

​@@ChristinaM66enjoy your trip to Edinburgh, have fun with your daughters. Edinburgh is beautiful especially on an Autumn day but the shopping is poor compared to Glasgow & Livingston. Lx

[@ChristinaM66]

@@peedyneep Thank you x

[@ChristinaM66]

Hi Hilary, thank you, we had a lovely day x

[@a13xdunlop]

Been going to the barras since my gran took me as a very young child, still going at 57

[@ChristinaM66]

I went with my mum when I was a child and I loved the place x

[@zombeat7376]

I actually seen John carpenter at that hall upstairs a few years ago. I have not been to the actual market in probably about 28 years. The indoor bit looks much the same from what I remember. That time 28 years ago was the first and only time I visited that barras market. So yes only been there once and it was nearly 3 decades ago. I think they actually had executions at that Trongate.

[@ChristinaM66]

Yes they did have executions there or about.
