Snow!

We've finally had some snow here in Edinburgh. Not very much but enough to have some winter fun in the park. Me and G. went for a walk after breakfast; she was so excited about snow. The last time she had a chance to see it was over two years ago but she was too small to enjoy it. Today we run, laughing and we threw snowballs at each other and she was so happy. The park was filled with children and their parents, everyone sliding down the hills on their sledges, building snowmen and having snowball fights. It all reminded me of my childhood.

Now, when I'm writing these words, there's hardly any snow left but maybe tonight it will snow again. Winter without snow is definitely no fun.

Happy weekend!

Scottish autumn.

It is simply beautiful. Warm and sunny and colourful. Some days start with thick fog and clear up just after few hours, showing off the beauty of this season. These photos are the proof. I took them in the beginning of November, during our trip to Lanark. It's our first autumn in Scotland and I love it. I admit, I anticipated cold and dark and rainy time and instead I'm enjoying these golden days filled with sun and crisp autumn air.

...from one capital....

...to another.

We are still in the process of settling down, unpacking boxes, finding ourselves in a completely new place, dealing with post-moving mess (three boxes with some books, DVDs and external hard drive were lost by the moving company and there's no hope they will ever be found...). 

We're loving it here. Everything is so different, new to us and exciting and the only downside so far is the weather: so cold, rainy and windy. Unpredictable and capricious. It feels like it's already autumn here. But the city is beautiful and there is so much to explore out there.
