What a lovely month this was. The visit to Scotland was so much fun – I had an absolute ball. New Year’s at George’s Square was good fun and seeing The View definitely a highlight. They few days after New Year’s were pretty quiet, especially New Year’s day when nothing open in Glasgow and we had a unforgettable meal at TGI Fridays (I don’t recommend it).
The JW and I headed off on our road trip to the coast. The first day we went north to Stirling and stopped off briefly to have a look around the town. We then headed down to Edinburgh for the night. The next morning we were up bright and early and off to Kinross, then Perth and then St Andrew’s. It snowed the whole day and JW did a magnificent job driving in the snow at night. St Andrew’s is very beautiful and I recommend a visit if you get a chance – even if the wind is blowing a gale. We then headed back to Edinburgh for dinner with C, K & K at First Coast (the same place I went every night I was there with G). There had been some miscommunication and H really wanted to try haggis and had thought that First Coast served it. There was a Sizzling Scotsman next however and they very kindly agreed to serve us haggis even though we weren’t eating in there restaurant. We all had a taste and I have to say it’s delicious. Up early again the next morning for a quick trip to Lake Lochloman before heading back to Glasgow.
A great night at R’s with some steak pie and then a night K will never forget due to the dulcet tones of J & I snoring our heads off. Breakfast at R’s café the next morning and then onto the train – so hard to say goodbye to J – he’d been here for just long enough for me to forget he was going home. Back to London and back to work although I did book my tickets home this week which is a bright spot on London’s very rainy landscape.
