So what do three english literature students do once their degrees are over? Well, short term, they make the most of living in the greatest city in the world: Edinburgh.
First up, a lovely long walk in the sun through Holyrood Park. The sun was beating down and the sky was so, so blue – the perfect day for a big old dog walk!
Secondly, a quick jaunt over to Glasgow to see the boy. First thing on the menu: a celebratory ice-cream sundae (also known as a heart attack in a glass) oh so delicious.
Back to Edinburgh to enjoy the sun. Many thanks to these birds for posing so nicely for me.
No stay in Edinburgh would be complete without a trip to Edinburgh Zoo, especially now the pandas are in residence. The zoo is the best, and I try and visit as often as I can. The penguin parade at 2pm is a must-see.
Another night in Glasgow: the city's skyline as seen from the Lighthouse viewing platform. Totally free and worth a gander.
Second breakfast (Hobbit style) at Mimi's Cafe in Stockbridge. Amazing food and incredible coffee – get yourself down there ASAP. (What I would give to live in Stockbridge with Mimi's on my doorstep…!)
An optimistic ice-cream seller on a very cold, wet Edinburgh day.
Finally, saying farewell to the view from my window – just temporarily, mind you. I'm off to London after a quick stop-off in The Shire (Cheshire for those interested in real-world geography!)
Watch this space.
