Birthday Weekend

We are back home again after a long weekend in Edinburgh where we have been celebrating The Professor's birthday. His birthday coincided with the school's winter half term and I also took a couple of days off work. Edinburgh is an amazing city. It has so much to offer and yet it is small enough to explore on foot.


 As a birthday treat I had booked a table for us at The Witchery for Sunday evening. It was amazing! I highly recommend this lovely restaurant set in a 16th century building next to the castle. They also have a few rooms you can book if you wish to spend the night there. A really special experience, I would think!
But be warned, both the restaurant and the accommodation is very popular, so book well in advance!



Apart from enjoying walking around a very springlike town, we also went to see the newly refurbished Portrait Gallery
What and entrance hall!
I had left my camera at home so the pictures are all borrowed from the web.

We also managed to find time to do a little painting in the flat. Just some odds and ends that needed doing like an old cupboard that had been waiting for a lick of paint. 
Good to be able to tick that off the list!

  4. Så herlig! =)
    Håper å få til en tur til Skottland selv ila året..
    Er usikker på om vi skal ta turen til Aberdeen eller Edinburgh. Har du vært i Aberdeen?
    Eller kanskje bare dra til begge byene at once?

    1. Har aldri vært i Aberdeen (enda), men har du nok tid så sier jeg som Ole Brumm "ja, takk, begge deler!" :-)
