Back from 2 weeks in Scotland where it was sunny and warmer than here, strange this global warming. Food was good to excellent, the latter being found in either indian, thai or orcadian (Orkney) restaurants.
The best of the lot with location:
Edinburg- Just spent one day here but we found the best thai place in town. Dusit Thai 49A Thistle Street.
Inverness- Many very good places here but our faves:
Rajah Indian 2 Post Office Road
The Mustard Seed (housed in a renovated church) Fraser Street
Stromness, Mainland, Orkney-
The Ferry Inn for the freshest North Atlantic fish. Literally thrown off the boat into the back door of the restuarant. Located on the quay in Stromness.
Kirkwall, Mainland, Orkney-
Pomona Cafe for everyday grub served with pride. Very nice people.
The Pomona Cafe 9 Albert Street, Kirkwall, Orkney
Transited both ways through Iceland. Dried fish and dried seaweed will remain a delicacy for the Icelanders. Had to try them but wish I hadn't.
First time overseas for our 10 year old and he loved everything being the age of loving castles, swords, dragons, boggarts and the like.
We all ate The Haggis
and it was very good.
Took awhile to read the backlog of posts here but some random thoughts:
I got the email about the LO gift certificate sale on Saturday, too bad I was in transit Monday to take advantage. I signed up for the LO Birthday Club but my b-day came and went in February without a peep from them.
Robert is still being picked on and trolling so all is right with the world.
Mojito and Basa are high on the list of must visit, Mojito looks great from outside Fernando.
You back to work yet, Suzi?
I miss T.P.'s old avatar.
I'm very happy to be home.
I'll leave you with this lovely scene next to Huntly Castle west of Aberdeen.
