Just catching up on your blog a bit - thanks f...Hi,<br />Just catching up on your blog a bit - thanks for the sacry bunnies, I laughed till I had to cross my legs.<br />I lived in Edinburgh for 10 years, and then my Dad lived there for another 5 after that, so I've been pretty familiar with it until quite recently. I have to say that I would avoid the Grassmarket as being a bit down at heel and stag party filled (unless the jazz festival is on in which case it's great) but would definitely go to the Grain Store on nearby Victoria Street for great food in a romantic setting. But you really should go to Stockbridge - a high class of charity shops there, near the botanic gardens. I think I heard a stat along the lines of the Oxfam there is the most profitable per sqm than any other charity shop in the country. And there's a bit of a hidden gem of a charity shop on Queensferry Street next to Randolph Crescent. Run by old ladies with pearls and posh Edinburgh accents. I don't think there's many presents from my Dad that haven't come from there! Clerk Street and South Clerk Street has another good row of charity shops near the university that cater for the student market so have a bit more 'vintage' styling than some others. And the Mary King's Close or underground history tours are actually a tourist tour worth doing. Oh, I wish I was going back there now...have fun!Hannahhttp://hannah-make-time.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-47756545650455705702012-04-08T20:10:29.029+01:002012-04-08T20:10:29.029+01:00Ooh, what's Goodreads, like Facebook for bookw...Ooh, what's Goodreads, like Facebook for bookworms?

The biggest goal this year is to love and take people as they are, judge less and buy more guns for the zombie apocalypse :) good luck with yours dear and I look forward to hearing about Scotland because we are headed there too.<br />Xoxo-<br />KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350442910321860733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-40138229833239016072012-04-06T22:23:37.509+01:002012-04-06T22:23:37.509+01:00I avoid list writing like the plague.

I love a journal, a pen and the whole idea, but in reality lists stress me out and leave me frustrated by what I haven't achieved.<br />Your resolutions sound manageable - buy more clothes? Good one! That journal is adorable, I'm glad it's being used, and by someone with lovely handwriting. Nothing worse than a scruffy mix of upper and lower case letters in a childish scrawl.<br />Maybe it is time for me to start writing lists?
