My first autumm in Barrhead - Introduction of my living there



Hello, I would like to introduce me and what about I am going write on my blog. It is first time and it is my first blog which I write so, please (for advanced readers and bloggers) be patient with me and my mistakes. Hope by time I will get better and better.
I would like to share with you about my first impressions from my new home-Scotland and about things and inspirations which i found here and still looking and searching for it:).
This year my family moved from my origin country Slovakia to UK, to Scotland because of father´s job. Parents bought house in small town Barrhead, which is situated on west-south from Glasgow. Well, first I didnt have mood for leave my country and go to unknown and cold land( like I ve heard that in Scotland is cold in summer and usually falls rain there or have strong wind) and in my country was nice hot summer( we moved in end of july 2009). I absolved interesting but tiring way across Slovakia, Czech republic, Germany , Holland(where moved to transport ship)and then from Newcastle to Glasgow. First two months we lived in small flat of my father , which was situated in eastern part of Glasgow and then when he got keys from house(I will not speak how tiring this waiting was and how obstructions and burocratic mistakes we lived to time when we got these keys). For me it was time when I started adapt on scottish weather and I must say that not what I ve heard was true. Is fact that this year was summer reall ymore more colder than I was acustomed to live in my country but when came autumm I was quiet satisfied and surprised how sunny, warm and quiet (not windy) was september and most of october here.

I am person who is able stay sit at home on my big ass days and days if get bad mood but I am character which likes enjoy social life in keeping comunication with other people and who likes go outside for search new and interesting places near house. I started go on mid- long walks with my mother and started explore Barrhead streets and beauty of Barrhead nature here. I must say that Scotland in eyes of my people is often only Highlands and men in quilts but I found very peaceful poetry in scottish nature here. How more i started go outside more I started like it (however on begin it seemed be long depression, bu tI thinkit lives all expatriate who move to other country for live and work).

Barrhead is small town which looks be quiet but has own centre with own pulsing life and nice nature for walks and sport activities. What I found great were neighbourgh´s gardens full of decorative trees, always green plants , small forest-park and somewhere I found almost flowers blossoming! For me it looked like fairy land. First idea which I ve got in my mind was picture of Hobbit s land from Lord of the Rings movie. Here it looks really like this. Who didnt visit it , cannt know about what I am speaking, really amazing experience and I can tell that some of Barrhead streets look like from movie and like paradise . Nature here offers rich colours which I think not onyl artists need for inspiration and which can enjoy in eyes and in soul not only lovers of nature.I think these streets are streets where lives litle more richer working mid -class.


I started enjoy Barrhead´s nature every day by walking when started attend local swiming-pool in sport centre(which I found very pleasant and well looking, but about leisure here I will write in next time ). I hope go walk for more and hope find here some friends which will enjoy search, explore and visit interesting places and beauty of Scotland here in Barrhead´s locality.
