Late October isn’t really the recommended time to visit Scotland. It’s cold up there and it rains quite a lot, both of which are only worse in the late autumn. Nevertheless, this is just the time that we decided to take our first trip to Edinburgh, with my mom in tow.
You’ve heard it all before from me. The summer of 2012 has been absolutely miserable here in the UK, and after a few days of decent weather at the beginning of September we have now been unceremoniously plunged into the rain and cold of autumn.
Not all of us are round the world travellers who aspire to carry all of our worldly possessions on our backs. That’s great for some, but I’m a home body and being constantly on the move isn’t something that I’m looking for right now – maybe someday, but not today.
I’ve been cooped up in the house for the last little while working on my dissertation. My day’s are filled mostly with reading and writing, interspersed with lots of procrastination, meals, and trips to the swimming pool.
Bruges, Belgium is famous for many things – chocolate, lace, and canals most notably. The city does however have a famous resident that you might not know about – and he’s a rather cute resident at that. No, it’s not an artist, writer, painter, or royal. He’s a bit furrier than that.
In the centre of Liverpool you will find a church. Well, more than one church really. If there is one thing that Liverpool is not short of it is churches, strangely enough. Only one of these churches however, will be lacking in some rather important architectural features, namely a roof and any windows.
Getting a great photograph is generally a bit of a fluke for me. It really has more to do with volume rather than skill – I take hundreds of pictures when I’m travelling, and when you do that you’re bound to get a couple of good ones.
