| Postcards from the weekend |

"Sometimes you  meet a person and you just click - you're comfortable with them, like you've known them your whole life, and you don't have to pretend to be anything or anyone"

Autumn is Edinburgh has that kind of magical feeling, leaves turning every golden shade, people walking that bit slower to enjoy the sparkling sunlight cascading down on them. The smell of warm cakes being nibbled on and the sweet scent of cocoa to warm the soul. I was in Edinburgh again at the weekend, I got the chance to meet a long time blog friend (and now real life friend) Andini from Adventures of an Anglophile, she was up from London to visit Scotland for the 1st time. And we just knew we had to take the chance to meet, we had dinner and tea with lots of laughter and happiness. It's really great when you click online with someone and that continues in real life too!! I hope to meet more of my blog friends in the future, if ever you're in Scotland, be sure to say hello!! Here's little glimpses of my weekend, have a gorgeous start to the week beauties.

Memorial Crosses for Remembrance Day

Scott Monument - a Victorian Gothic monument for Scottish Author Sir Walter Scott. Building completion was 1844. Andini was inside going to the top.

The view across as I walked to Andini's hotel!

Andini & I having dinner together, the place we had dinner was called Slug & Lettuce, we both had wanted to go into one to see what it was like because of the name & it was lovely inside, very posh!! Staff was very friendly & helpful, food was super delicious, great relaxing atmosphere, perfect place to eat and have a chat with friends, will definitely pop in there again.

My dinner...Thai Chicken Curry, which was so lovely!

Then we went to a tea place called Eteaket, which was a darling little place. Lovely interiors, cozy sittings, it was very chilled. The staff was very helpful in explaining the teas to us & what we might like to try. All of us got different teas -but one. Mine was the blue one which is called Purple Rain Blue Tea and it was gorgeous. It's a blend of blue butterfly pea flowers (which help fight signs of ageing, assist in memory & brain function & improve brain vitality) fragrant lemongrass with lemon peel, ginger peel and a hint of licorice. It starts off blue, but then you add a squeeze of lemon and stir as it turns purple!! So delicious!! You can see the before & after in the picture below :) I'll definitely visit here regularly whenever I'm in Edinburgh, I really loved the atmosphere & now I have a new favourite tea!!
