We had a slow start to our day, which was nice. Wee Daftie even managed to sleep in a bit which is very uncharacteristic but generally welcome!
When she did wake up, she woke well and happy.
Daddy Daftie was off out for the day, catching up with a friend, so we took our time getting organised and just kind of chilled out, while watching a great little documentary about pangolins. Specifically one pangolin called Kulu. Such gorgeous little creatures. Definitely check out the Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey on Netflix.
We headed into town after lunch so that we could walk through Prince’s St Gardens and admire the blossoms. Spring is a lovely time in the city and the gardens always look stunning. From the blossoms in the trees, the tulips and marigolds lining the sides, there is just a sense of joy and peace about it.
Midway through the gardens we stopped outside the galleries to listen to two chaps busking.
They were really good. Wee Daftie got so excited when she heard the music, but couldn’t quite locate it, that she literally ran from the bottom of the gardens, up the steps and right up to where they were playing.
I caught up with her, red-faced and delighted with herself. We stayed for a couple of tunes before heading along the west part of the gardens.
After we stopped at all the statues, including Wojtek the Bear, Wee Daftie had a run through the playpark. I say that. What I really mean is that she went up and down the slide until she was dizzy. Which mean only one thing. Refreshments were needed!
We stopped at the cafe in Waterstones for a cold drink and to share some cake. The carrot cake was delicious.
With a quick stop to look at some books, we headed home and were back in time for dinner with our step target hit. Always a satisfying feeling.
A simple and lovely day.
Three more to go!
