Had a lovely time in Edinburgh last week, weather was terrific, cold & crisp but no snow unfortunately.
This was a beautiful church on the Royal Mile, just lovely.
We were very lucky that the Christmas Markets started the day after we arrived so we just HAD to go have a German sausage & a mulled wine. I got to have mead for the first time ever. Very special to have it in Scotland & very yummy!
The ice skating rink - rinks in the south have had to be closed cause the weather is too warm & the ice is melting :)
We were convinved that this guy was about to take off in the very strong wind - poor guy!

We went on the open top bus tour then wandered along the Royal Mile checking out the plethora of cashmere & tartan shops. I bought myself a lovely purple cashmere beanie - truly stylish !
I went to the Childrens' Museum. They had some fantastic toys on display. These miniature ceramics were just adorable! I would love that chicken for my chicken collection :)
I am
sure I saw these 2 dogs on Antiques Roadshow recently.
This game was hysterical in its completeness!! Obviously designed by a pedant :)

| If only this was a real butcher shop! Finding good meat is a bit of a struggle here - not good when you are allergic to vegetables like I am :( |
These dolls were a cack! Modelled from quins they were all identical just with different name badges! Matel - each sold separately LOL

| Floor signs in the hotel - every floor a different fruit YUM! |
 |
| Lovely little Citroen truck from our favourite French restaurant - Super YUM!! |
 |
| So want one of these!! |
Had the BEST food in Edinburgh! All but one meal was excellent. Had a lot of fun, people were really friendly, weather was great. All in all a lovely time up North & we would be happy to spend more time there.
