Wordle, or summing up

A Wordle seems an appropriate way of summing up, even though my blog became increasingly an album as the time went past, it was mainly about recording, and recording in words... But if you look at what I have written, it is nearly all about seeing, and looking, and being amazed. And this discovery makes this wordle very inspiring. See what you can read out of it; I can see this:

Just one time around Edinburgh. I rather like this place. It's made for looking, at people, along the river at birds, and for munching in restaurants. My eyes see far in this really nice place. Standing outside with Skinnytoes and friends in this amazing city, perhaps this is something good in the making.

The last one

So this is it, the last post... the three month adventure is over, a new adventure begins. It was shockingly easy, settling back into pre-Edinburgh life, but there are many things that I miss. The beauty of the city, the closeness of the sea, and my lovely, sunny flat... Perhaps it could become my long term goal, to move up North, and live in this most European of all British cities. This is the first time I feel I have found a place where I would truly like to settle, and I will hang on to this sentiment until the right time comes, and the vision can materialise.

Ah, so many places I will miss! Skinnytoes came to help me move out on the last weekend in April, but before that I took a stroll along the Water of Leith, which has been such a feature of my stay. It has changed so much since I first came to Edinburgh in February, when it was still in the icy grip of winter.

The view down my street in February and in May.

Stockbridge, February and May.

Water of Leith under the Dean bridge in the two seasons.

And finally Murrayfield stadium, in the snow and in bloom.

I had a great time... Edinburgh, forget me not!

Oysters - there will be the most dearly missed!
