Recently we visited Jamie and Gia at their new house in
Edinburgh for the weekend.
It had been some time since we had been in Edinburgh so we
did a little sightseeing on our own before meeting up again for a catch up.
During our stay, we played a few games, enjoyed the company of their friends and
watched a movie.
On Saturday, we went to lunch at a fabulous restaurant
called Forage & Chatter that specialised in Scottish inspired dishes. It
was delightful and friends commented that the name of the place suited Sue and
I very much. We also had a few cocktails at an eclectic bar called Paradise Palms.
On Sunday, we took a long walk along the Water of Leith to
Leith itself, from near Dean Village via Stockbridge Market (where I picked up
a black pudding scotch egg), stopping for a ‘snack’ at The Ship on the Shore
(oysters and champagne for the girls, muscles and calamari and beer for Jamie
and me. We returned via Holyrood Park past Arthur’s Seat (luckily, we didn’t
have to climb it), the Palace of Holyrood house, Scottish Parliament, the old
town beside Edinburg Castle, and finally eating stonking burgers at Foundry 39
(where there was a case of unfortunate mistaken identity – Scotch Bonnet for a
dehydrated tomato on Bloody Mary).
