Weekend in Auld Reekie

The weather has delivered this weekend—four seasons each day. We’ve enjoyed it anyway. We’ve spent the weekend with friends—visited Camera Obscura and the Scottish Storytelling Center, had a killer meal at Monster Mash, and, after taking a walk through the Meadows, rediscovered a pub I’d liked on my last visit to Edinburgh.

After brunch this morning, (I love Sundays, everywhere in the world) we spent the afternoon watching cricket while Ben explained the sport to one of my students and I graded the students’ first exams. The students did very well, which was great, and it was fun to spend a lazy afternoon at the cricket. We met Shan and Callie for coffee so that I can fuss over Callie, and are cooking in tonight, getting ready for the week ahead.

This was a week of birthdays for my family: Grandma, Jodi and Aaron, and my brother, tomorrow. Happy Birthday, fam. Missing you all.

Love,
Robyn and Ben

With gems like 'Will and the St. Clair’s had a falling out' and 'Malcolm “Big Head’s wife was Margaret of Hungary', you can teach me history anytime.
Just catching up, aka gearing up, for fun times across the pond!
