I like a good challenge almost as much as I like a good blog.
That in mind, I'm grateful to SAHDandproud, because this afternoon, he has provided both.
The challenge that he has set, in a nutshell, to describe a favourite place, holiday, outing or travel-related experience.
In 80 words or less.
He calls it Around the World in 80 Words.
You can take part, or read other posts on this topic, here.
Needless to say, like most things that SAHDandproud does, I wish I'd thought of this first.
It just remains for me to thank him for reminding me about a cherished time........ in Edinburgh:
The B's second birthday, 2009, overnight in Edinburgh.
Scotland in September unpredictable, this one unseasonable, conditions perfect.
The main attraction, Waverley Station (The B train obsessed, buses not yet on his radar).
Lunch at Garfunkels, the 1980s inside, but child-friendly, then the zoo (penguin parade good, elephant absence less so), The B&G sleeping in the buggy, somewhere near the zebras.
Sunbathing in Princes Street Gardens.
Bare-chested.
The B, not me.
Birthday or not, no-one needs to see that.
Pity Acanthus, my favourite Sunday-newspaper-reading-among-palms-in-wicker-cafe next to Waverley station closed before you got there. It was my idea of a perfect afternoon.
ReplyDeletePossibly my favourite city in the world. I have great memories of fun times in Auld Reekie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part, and feel free to contribute more and more as the linky stays open for a month and I want as many as possible! :-)
I love Edinburgh. Felt v at home there. Worth another visit, methinks :)
