Someone from Piers Morgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵
Nice to see this historic Glasgow landmark building back in use - @archhfund helped pay for Glasgow Building Preservation Trust to do early options appraisal work on its potential re-use options back in 2010!
🎙Another great location to record a new episode of everyone’s favourite podcast #IfGlasgowsWallsCouldTalk3 ! Malin Group After the Garden Festival...
Fun evening out recording a podcast for Glasgow City Heritage Trust about the ‘work’ we’ve been doing collecting stories & memories about the Glasgow Garden Festival After the Garden Festival...
Great to be back in Malin Group South Rotunda - famous as Nardini’s during the Festival.

Privilege to attend official handover of Prestwick Broadway cinema into Friends of the Broadway Prestwick ownership.
The Architectural Heritage Fund has helped since 2018 with #HESsupported & William Grant Foundation viability & emerg repair grants to help them reach this milestone!
In anticipation of that, here's a glimpse inside and a hint of the elegance that Nardini brought to the Festival: fashion shows, immaculate waiting staff (and a wine list that couldn't be more 80s).
