Edinburgh Christmas market

I’m writing this on the train back to Aberdeen. We had a fantastic day in Edinburgh today. The Christmas markets just began this weekย and they are wonderful. We went on the ferris wheel and itย was a gorgeous day which meant we had spectacular views from the top.

There’s an outdoor skating rinkย there which I couldn’t resist and we were the first on the ice when it opened at 11am. Edinburghers must like to sleep in on Sunday because it was fairly quiet until about 12pm. Daniel and Elizabeth are good on ice skates now and don’t need my help which is great.

This next pic is just to show off my new WordPress swag which I got from the WordCamp yesterday: a buff with a tartan WordPress logo. You can’t really see the tartan unless I pull it up over my face as in this next pic but it’s definitely my favourite swag by far.

    That looks like a perfect way to spend a Winter’s day. It looks soooo beautiful!

      It was a perfect winter’s day, Denise. I can’t think of anything better than ice-skating to Christmas carols in the centre of Edinburgh.

    Didn’t know you could skate as well.

      I’m not very good. I can just go round in circles. But it’s fun!
