We travelled up to Edinburgh on Friday evening, staying at
Craigmoss Guest House. Porridge for me and a full Scottish breakfast for my
husband. The breakfast was delicious, our bedroom was very clean (until we
moved in) and the owners were very friendly, even ironing my husband’s shirt
for him. My only points for improvement would be a bit of a revamp on the
decoration front and those little jam jars (I collect them) instead of plastic
tubs of jam at breakfast.
On Saturday morning we managed to fit in a run up Arthur’s
Seat before heading over to the wedding at The Hub. The bride and bridesmaids
looked absolutely beautiful (the groom looked handsome too) and the ceremony
was lovely with only one small hitch-when the celebrant said the wrong name, well
at least it wasn’t the groom! It was also lovely to catch up with all my ever
growing family and the ceilidh was, as always, great fun.
The fun continued on Sunday as we went for a group walk up
Arthur’s seat followed by a fantastic buffet back in the bride’s home village. We
also stopped off in Durham for dinner on the way home. Lots of new restaurants,
shops and bars have opened up since we were last there, but it was good to see
our old favourites- Klute, The Picnic Basket, Sammy’s and La Spaghettata were
all still there. Without considering anywhere else we headed straight to La
Spag for a cheap and cheerful (and very tasty) dinner. A perfect end to a
wonderful weekend.
Durham Cathedral, still there too
