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...

Goodbyes...

Now that first year is over I have to move home for the summer! There are lots of things I won't miss about living in halls but there are so many things I will be sad to leave behind. It is crazy to think that this is now my 8th month living in Edinburgh, it feels like yesterday that I moved in. I will miss my flatmates from this year a lot (some more that others!!), we have had so many laughs this year! It has been a pleasure to live with them. 

I will also miss having all my friends living so close by. Our campus here is tiny so it isn't far at all from block to block. We have had so many good times, film nights, pizza and parties. I will miss that next year. Today is the day I have to say goodbye to most of my friends and it is so sad. I won't see them for 4 months! 

Finally and here is my photo, I will miss the incredible sunsets. My window in halls has a brilliant view and the sunsets in the evenings are just amazing. So beautiful! I have so many pictures on my phone of various sunsets from this year. I will share with you the most recent, the sky was incredible and pink. Plus there is a pretty view if you ignore the pylons!
