I’ve been so busy this week that I didn’t have a chance to blog about my last few days in Scotland.
On Sunday, Tom came over to watch the F1 with my Dad, so my Mum and I took my Nana out for a coffee. There’s a nice little cafe in Burntisland called Potter About, where you can paint your own ceramics over a cup of coffee and cake. They have a little craft store and I was tempted by their union jack cushions.
In the evening my Dad took us through to Chop Chop in Edinburgh, a restaurant they had seen on Gordon Ramsay’s show and everyone has been raving about since.
They specialize in dumplings, so I tried the steamed and fried prawn ones and some peanut & mustard noodles.
They even had dessert dumplings, I tried the peanut butter with raisins ones, which were really nice.
We went for a drink near the bridges afterwards and then I went back to Tom’s house and Duncan and Grant came round for a catch up.
We spent Monday with T’s Mum, sitting in their lovely garden. I somehow managed to get sunburn (in Scotland!) and now have an uneven tan down one arm.
We had a tasty lunch of pita bread stuffed with roast vegetables.
The train back to London was really busy, so we snuggled up and watched the One Of My Kind documentary about Conor Oberst and Monsters Of Folk, which wasn’t great but made us want to take a trip to Mexico.
Tom’s parents gave us this really pretty cake stand as an engagement present.
I can’t wait to have a tea party and show it off.
