Our Anniversary in Edinburgh

On Sunday we celebrated our 6 year anniversary by spending the day in Edinburgh. We had a wonderful time wandering around the Christmas market and town - the first time we'd been at this time of year! It's so magical and sparkly, we went into the Christmas tree maze (and completed the challenge to win some chocolate coins...), had some festive drinks and did a little Christmas shopping. The ice rink looked great too but it was just so busy! While we were there it was the Christmas lights switch on so there was lots happening on George Street with performances throughout the day and fireworks in the evening. We also visited some of our favourites from our Edinburgh stay in March including Hula for an early breakfast stop, Miro's for amazing Nachos and Mary's Milk Bar for a takeaway brick of yumminess - chocolate orange and sticky date pudding gelato. We finished the evening with delicious takeaway pizzas from La Favorita and drove home to a very happy Daisy dog!

It's crazy to think 6 years ago we both worked at Debenhams cafe when we decided to go for an after work coffee. Now we're living in our little cottage with our even littler dog and still working together... except now in our own business!

On Wednesday we went to our first Christmas Shopping Day in Falkland! This is when all the shops stay open late until 10pm with 10% discount and festive refreshments. It's such a lovely atmosphere and so magical in the evening with all the Christmas lights and decorations. Even the pubs had specials too so you can stop for yummy food and Christmas cocktails for a break from shopping! We didn't get a chance to see everything this Wednesday as we were working on orders until late then I was helping out at Miss Daisy Gifts which was a lot of fun. We did manage to take a few photos and pop into the Fife Makers craft fair in the town hall where we picked up a few (secret for now) stocking fillers. The good news is it's all happening again on the 26th November and 3rd December!
