UnBEACHlievable Sunny Days

After a blue few days it was especially wonderful to greet two familiar faces at the train station last week. Their journey from London could not have been better timed as, for the next five days, Edinburgh pulled out all of its sparkly summer sunny delights!

We got straight down to some favourite past times (thrifty shopping, eating yummy food and soaking up some arty-farty culture) in the local area. We headed first to the Arts Market at Out of the Blue. The home-made curry was a winner!

After swelling our ranks with two more lovely people we set off for a beautiful walk along the Waters of Leith to Dean Village and the National Gallery of Modern Art.

It was food for our souls to luxuriate in companionship, playing pick-up-sticks, sipping home-made mojitos, making new friends, playing like five year olds and spending many hours on a white sandy beach (Yellowcraig).

When living away from home it seems extra special to spend time with old friends who know you well and to make fresh memories which will become synonymous with our time in Edinburgh.

Thank you A&A for being lovely guests and gorgeous friends!
