My mum's friend/former boss Jacelyn was in Edinburgh as she was taking a tour around Scotland with her cousin. We met up for dinner Monday night (she had landed as the colour run was going on, and said she could see it from the plane, which was cool to know - we were right by the airport, and while I knew we could see the planes really well, I wasn't sure how well the people in the planes could see us).
Jacelyn, her cousins Neville, and the couple they were staying with, Gino and Fiona and myself all went to this lovely French restaurant.
The days are super long in Scotland during the summer as we are further north than I am used to. During the days leading up to the summer solstice, it was getting light around 3:30 and only going fully dark around 11:30. Very, very short nights. Which has mostly been disorienting - I was walking home the other night and looked at my phone and was shocked to find it was 10pm. I would have guessed maybe 8pm, 9 at the latest. The point of all this being that I was very surprised when we left dinner to realize how late it was - it was a lovely evening of conversation with lovely people. Jacelyn is awesome and I always enjoy seeing her. Good fun!
Lucky you! Dinner with Jacelyn is always a special celebration. :)
