Domestics & Edinburgh

A domestic start to the week, sorting and repacking to the motor home, so it can be parked up for the winter months. It will be at least mid-march before it is back on the road.  We also managed a hair cut each, Rog in the garden with a set of clippers, whereas Nic went for a professional cut. 

Rog had a covid booster jab, thank you NHS.

Catching up with family and friends. 

Friday, we caught a busy train to Edinburgh, walked to the hotel (Hub by Premier Inn @ Haymarket £127 for 4-night, bargain!) 

Lots of people in the city attending the Christmas Winter Wonderland, a lot more people than we have seen for a long time. Obviously, masks are compulsory indoors, however, at times, we have found ourselves wearing them outside. we walked to Grass Market and had dinner at ‘El Toro Loco’ for Mexican.

Saturday, we walked around Edinburgh, when the weather turned wet we visited the national museum of Scotland, whilst indoors it started to snow. Thankfully it did not settle, and had stopped by the time we left, it did make us fell festive though! In the evening we did a Beer Tasting at the Lost Close – plenty of beer and a few stories about Edinburgh. Dinner at a Kurdish and Middle Eastern restaurant.

Sunday, our wedding anniversary, we had booked ‘Purslane Restaurant’ for lunch, a small restaurant, which looked nice on the website. We were not disappointed, we had a set menu with accompanying wines. Wonderful food –  parsnip veloute, scallops, partridge, hake, venison, cheese, lemon curd icecream, panna cotta and petit fours.  We needed a good walk afterwards to assist the digestion.
