Edinburgh Adventures..

I'm back. My anti-blog curse is gone. All things holding me back from the blog are gone. I have a camera, I have completed my dissertation, I have free free free time.

Anyway, I went on a fantastic class trip to Edinburgh last week. I flew seperately to my class, flying from Dublin, providing me with the opportunity to visit friends in Dublin before flying out. I arrived last Monday at 8.30am and promptly got some coffeee. Then I went on a walking tour of the city. I think I want to move there. The people are friendly, there is amazing shopping and there is so much fantastic art.

When my class arrived, we went for dinner and then started partying. We deserved it, after all those hard weeks slog of dissertationing. It was super fun. Tuesday consisted of visiting the castle, the birthplace of Harry Potter and more partying. There were danceoffs and tequila shots. The rest is hazy. Anywhooo.. I saved some pounds for shopping on Wednesday. The rest of my class had an earlier flight than me back. I used this as a chance to check out an art gallery or two (I LOVED The Red Door Gallery and Analogue ). I ate in a veggie place called the Baked Potato and hid from the sun with an iced coffee in Starbucks. My feet were very sore after walking/dancing solidly for three days straight. But so worth it. My favourite shop had to be Barnardos Vintage, run by the lovely lovely Kerri. It is a charity shop which is full of vintage gems. The store is fantastic, I could have bought so much more. In the end, I got a lovely white cardi with pearl details and a purple floral snood. Kerri and I discussed the benefit of charity shop rummaging and it turned out we had a lot of random connections. I think that the concept of that shop is pretty perfect, as it was really good value and full of diamond finds.

All in all, top notch weekend. Everyone should go to Edinburgh.

Peace, Fi xx
