Dear readers — with Beth Templeton, our new reporter, starting today — we now have three weekend activity reports to bring you. The joys! We’re delighted to have Beth on board. Why not send her a welcome email and any story ideas? beth@glasgowbell.co.uk
Robbie was as on brand as ever over the weekend: al fresco wining and dining, a visit to the Barras’ Hong Kong market, ice creams in the sun, half pints on Glasgow Green; the usual.

He also took a walk along the lush-looking Kelvin, which he thinks looks every bit like a temperate rainforest at this time of year. Beth was treated to a free tasting menu, and may have enjoyed a few buzzballs while watching the football.
