Get well soon, Cee!

The Princes Street Park has wonderful pathways and the steep staircase leads you to the end or the beginning of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

…thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2024/05/24/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2024-week-21/

Many cemeteries in the UK are places to walk, sit and enjoy the view. This one in Edinburgh was located behind the St. John’s Scottish Episcopal Church. Nestled among the tombstones are places to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee from the cafe inside the church.

Someone Found Out That We’re Going on a Trip

…some of Kevin’s favourite characters have decided they want to join us

Tomorrow we are starting our trip to the UK. I’ve been prepping my blog and scheduling posts for the next two to three weeks because I’m not sure that I’ll be able to post any photographs while we’re on the trip. Even though I’ve deleted over 500 photos from my media page it still says I have no room for new ones.

I can still see other posts and leave comments (hopefully) but if I can’t I’ll catch up when we return May 20th. In the meantime here are Kevin’s friends all ready for the trip.
