Friday morning was kicked off by a trip to the grocery store. Mom, Aunt CC and I took to the streets to go and purchase fillings for our cupboards the remainder of the week. Even such a simple task felt like quite a production with conflicting personalities. Britty slept in, but was remarkably awake, showered and dressed when we got back at 11.
Off to the castle! It was frigid out, but we forced ourselves to take a walking tour with the guide...we ended with a high tea in the cafe. Britt and Mom plunged at the carrot cake with real cream cheese frosting. Hot Chocolate & Coffee to accompany... Aunt CC went for an afternoon tea and ordered something similar to a date square, with mince pie filling instead. For me? Elderflower and Lemon tea - delicious. The tea pot also brought my fingers back to life. I wonder how many shades of white they can turn in one trip?
On our way out, Aunt CC took off somewhere, so Mom, Britty and I decided to go for a whiskey tasting - when in Rom--eh, Edinburgh :)
We walked down to what we thought was one of the Christmas Markets...it was more of a disappointment than anything. Wrong one. Oh well, more time for Britty to get to go to Primark! If only we had more room in our suitcases...
Dinner consisted of carrots and hummus, crackers, cheese (my leftover mozererlla from dinner the night before) and soups for all. I believe here even may have been a Ben's Cookie that made an appearance, which Aunt CC had been hiding away from the rest of the crew. Then it was off to bed by 10...seriously, what a bust. We're such a bunch of party animals. Had I known, I would have been down the road earlier for the 12 Pubs of Christmas: Edinburgh Style with friends from our Shamrocker tour. Ultimate Fail. Oh well, there will be future return trips!
