Road Trip...

I'm back! Uni life got the better of me and my blog has taken a back seat in the last few months but now I'm finished university again for the year and hoping to share my summer with all of you! 

A few weeks ago a few friends and I went on a wee road trip, I had handed in an essay and completed a presentation and my flatmates had just finished their uni teaching before placement. It seemed like the perfect opportunity. The sun even made an appearance which doesn't happen very often in Scotland during March! 

We packed up our beach gear and headed to North Berwick. Before heading to the beach Jenny persuaded us all to climb North Berwick Law, I wasn't too keen but when we reached the top and saw the views it was so worth it! After our walk we wandered to the beach. I had never been to North Berwick before, it is so quaint and pretty. We attempted to paddle in the sea but it was absolutely freezing! When we got too cold to stay on the beach we headed along the high street and found a lovely little cafe and had some hot chocolate and amazing red velvet cake.

As it was a beach road trip we couldn't drive back to Edinburgh without a stop at the fish and chip shop, we ate our dinner looking out over the sun setting on the beach. It was beautiful. Many many photos and selfies were taken so I thought I would share a few with you...

Crackers, Celebrations and Cake...

I've been home now for 5 days now and so far everyday has been different, here are a few pictures and memories of the week!

 Monday was a bank holiday so I went with my family on a trip to Souter Lighthouse and for a small walk. I successfully climbed the lighthouse in a dress, not a wise idea! Very self conscious when climbing up and down ladders to the top!! All in all it was a fabulous day minus probably flashing my knickers to strangers! 

Tuesday was more laid back as everyone else was back at school or work but I picked my little brother up from school and we had a lovely walk home chatting and giggling the whole way. 

Wednesday was my birthday! Happy days! The morning was however spent doing housework but after that it perked up. I had a great phone call from my boyfriend who is in the middle of exams so still away at uni. He always makes me smile! My day was made by a parcel arriving from my best friend who is on a gap year in South Africa! I got some fabulous presents, she knows me so well! Speaking of presents, I was very blessed, so many pretty cards and I'm very grateful for all the presents I received! I also went out for lunch with mum. The food was so good. I had potato skins, and then carbonara. Amazing. Then for tea as a family we had fajitas, they were also amazing! At tea mum decided we would use up the left over christmas crackers. I love my family! Mum and I then finished the day by watching Rent and drinking Malibu. Not so bad! A very blessed day, I'm so lucky!
