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!

A little bit more Brussels

Another quick post before bed then Paris tomorrow! The last two days of Brussels have been spent walking, shopping and eating. It's been absolutely roasting (33°C) and the city is packed as there is a massive Belgian Beer Festival on at the moment! We went to a flea market yesterday where I bought these beautiful vintage glasses, I just hope they survive the trip home. As well as chips, chocolate and beer we treated ourselves to some luxury Pierre Ledent macarons. There were lots of flavours to choose from like mojito, sesame caramel and balsamic vinegar (although we weren't that adventurous) and they come presented in a very posh box!
