We took the train over to Edinburgh to meet up with Debbie for a birthday picnic. Poor Jason was working the stand at the West End Fair so couldn't get away to join us. We did save him some! :oD
This was Debbie opening one of her parcels - 3 books about canning and preserving. She told me they were on her Amazon wish list! I had no idea. Clever old me, eh? :oD
This is just some of the food we had. It was all delicious. There's just something about egg sandwiches and crisps and fizzy drinks and so on and so on that just taste so much better eaten as a picnic. By the way, nobody ate the apples - they're way too healthy! :oD
Joanna needed a nap after lunch! :oD
And this was the view we enjoyed as we ate - Edinburgh Castle in all its glory.
Happy Birthday, Debs. Have a great day! :o)
I look like I'm faking but I really was tired! It was a good day, though. :) Happy Birthday, Dibs. J :)
ReplyDeleteYou were faking - your eyes were blinking like they did when you were a child and you couldn't understand how I knew you weren't asleep! :oD
DeleteNope - was just resting my eyes! ;) If I had been faking like I did when I was small, I would have squeezed my eyes so tightly shut because that's what happens when you're sleeping. Obviously! :D
DeleteHahahaha! :oD
DeleteHappy birthday to your baby, that looks like a fabulous birthday picnic...and what a view!

Thanks, Gilly! :o)
DeleteOur first baby turned 33 this year too! Time has flown by far too quickly-now she has a 7 year old daughter who is the image of her!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how our children get so old so quickly! :oD
DeleteMerry Birthday to Deb and it looks like Joanna wasn't the only on napping (or fake napping) today! What a wonderful picnic and birthday celebration. The castle looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Anne!
Yes, there were a lot of people lying around on the grass either napping or fake napping! :oD
DeleteHappy birthday to your daughter! And a happy BIRTHday to you, Anne!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day for a picnic and what a beautiful location! Great views too...
Thanks, Freda. :o)
DeleteHappy Birthday to Debbie and my "Baby" is 35 going on 36. Looks like you all had a lovely day and I've only seen Edinburgh Castle in the pouring rain.
ReplyDeleteRain? In Scotland? Surely not, Susan! :oD
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday to Debbie. It looks like a fantastic spot for a picnic. I can see that a good day was had by you all.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. It was a good day - and, because we took the train, there was no worries about finding a car park space.
DeleteMy baby will be 35 next month - how is that possible when I am 29!! Perfect picnic (although I would drink Irn Bru!!)
ReplyDeleteLOL I was just saying that to Joanna. I was 32 a couple of days after she turned 31 so how can her big sister be 33? It's a miracle! :oD
