We wandered round the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh but really I wanted to go & visit my favourite clothes shop Toast.
We arrived just as the doors opened & emerged one hour & a half later! I tried on lots of stuff but came out with two things!
I was very happy….we popped into a cute cafe next door & had tea & cake to recover!
Three good things:
1. We met a NZ girl in the cafe….she made cakes & biscuits for ten cafes…a real enterprising girl.
2. Market day in Great Eccleston…a new stall selling delicious French loaves & delicious pastries! I did sample them!
3. Our fence is finished & Harry has been strimming…we are looking very tidy!
Oh I love Stockbridge. Allan shared an apartment with a colleague when he was contracting in Edinburgh and sometimes I went down for the weekend instead of him coming home. I need another shopping trip to Edinburgh!!!
Lovely to visit your favourite store and good to have such a patient Harry !! I am afraid most of my shopping is done all line - too painful to try and wonder around the stores which kills all the pleasure - not complaining but so grateful of being able to shop on line ! I am sure the cuppa and cake was very welcome afterwards !
@beryl Oh Beryl, I’m ashamed to say I shop online at this shop too…they make it so easy these days! I pay on my credit card so if it goes back I don’t get charged unless I keep it then goes off at end of the month.
This has a very European look to it! At first glance I thought it was Paris! I do think the French had a lot to do with the Scottish. Our clan chief away back in the 1700's married a French bird!
@julzmaioro Yes she came from Christchurch! I thought the same thing!🤣. She had brought in some large plastic boxes full of cakes, I asked her if she supplied the cafe & she said yes, a full time job supplying ten! I asked her about them & she gave me her card, that’s when I saw where she was from www.kiwi bakes.co.uk. Antipodean style home baking in Edinburgh.
She had her little boy with her.
