Volcanic Ash and Bashful Sun


I'm back! After a couple weeks of blogging hiatus (which I blame entirely on the much anticipated presence of my mother in the Burgh) I have returned with a slightly mediocre, yet fairly pleasant post. Today Bretton and I, amid the subtle flurries of ash from Iceland's obnoxious volcano, had a leisurely lunch at our favourite haunt: The Last Drop pub. It's name, as would be expected, was derived from the hundreds of public hangings and torture ceremonies held outside it's doors during one of the better sections of Edinburgh's history. Fun times.

The brooch I'm wearing was a gift from my overly generous mother during her trip. I'm in love. It seems to go with everything. And I can't express how happy I am at the prospect of finally being able to wear sandals. It truly is a beautiful, albeit slightly pyroclastic, day.
