    August 16, 2018April 5, 2019

    Finally, my local’s guide to Edinburgh is here! There’s nothing I love more than sharing my favourite places in this beautiful city. So… I made a map! It has all my favourite places to eat, shop and take the perfect Instagram (because I might know a little bit about that…!) and

    "And hope, if it had a scent, would smell like spr "And hope, if it had a scent, would smell like spring, like rain, like something new and alive." {Jennifer Rush} ~ Living vicariously through blossom photos until the rain stops and the weather remembers it's May not November 🌸✌🏻
    “At last came the golden month of the wild folk—honey-sweet May, when the birds come back, and the flowers come out, and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year.” {Samuel Scoville} ~ The Meadows looking oh so pretty in pink 💕🌸 I’m late to the party as usual, but hello May, you beauty! It really does feel like the dawn of a new year here, everything is fresh and bright and beautiful 🌿
    "Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual asto "Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment." {Ellis Peters} ~ Shout out to Edinburgh for serving up the most picture perfect Parisian vibes 🌸💕 happy Sunday, you lovely lot. Hope you don’t mind a little more blossom in your feed because there’s plenty more where this came from! ✨
    "Come...take me out of this dull house! Let me hav "Come...take me out of this dull house! Let me have all the freedom I have lost... For I would ride with you upon the wind, run on the top of the disheveled tide, and dance upon the mountains like a flame." {W. B. Yeats} ~ I can feel adventure in the air again! 🧡✨ Counting down the days until our first Scotland staycation of the year. Beyond grateful to be able to explore this beautiful country once again!
    "There is no glory in star or blossom till looked "There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye; There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by." {William Cullen Bryant} ~ Blossom season in the city 🌸💕 I was a little early to the party this year - my favourite blossom tree was still largely in bud, sitting gently on the cusp of its spring awakening, not quite ready to unfurl. I know how it feels! We're all waking up after a long winter hibernation this year. Grateful for this gentle reminder that blossoming can be slow and steady and just as beautiful 🌱
    “Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadne “Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.” {Albert Camus} ~ Because some things are worth quoting in full 🤎 ~ Hope you’re all hanging in there and enjoying these early spring days. Blossom is just starting to appear here and the city feels (almost!) ready to bloom and grow again 🌸
