Saturday night & Sunday morning

Spent the day in Edinburgh yesterday and saw Tim Vine’s comedy show with my friend Ros. He’s been awarded the Fringe’s funniest joke prize for this gem:

“I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again.” (boom boom!).

Some pics from the day:

Braveheart here is a lovely guy called Adam Watters who gives up his free time to pose for pictures with tourists in exchange for a donation to charity – over the last few years he’s raised thousands of pounds for leukaemia charities. His enthusiasm and friendliness are second to none.

It was absolutely freezing in Edinburgh yesterday, so I bought this cardi in Zara and was wearing it before I’d left the shop!

Slept over at my parents’ place where I shared a room with my nephew who was also visiting for the night (Robbie in the big bed, Auntie Sarah in the little bed – not sure how that happened!).

We went to Gorgie City Farm this morning. My outfit was pretty much the same as last night’s – the leather mini wasn’t entirely appropriate for a farm visit but I hadn’t factored that into my plans!

    Looks like such a fun weekend. Your nephew is sooooo adorable!

  2. Alex

    Oh how cute is he? The farm looks fun – bet you were the most glamorous person there!

    Was Tim Vine good? V. jealous that you went to Edinburgh as I’ve been saying for years that I’m going to go! Definitely going next August though.

    Oh and I’ve just read your comment – they’re Office own brand and only cost £15. They look exactly like Toms don’t they? I am going to get some Toms next as I really approve of the work they do, but funds were tight at the time I bought them!

    Aw, so cute! Leather skirts are ALWAYS appropriate! Love your blog x

    @Alex – Tim Vine was good overall. His show was based on interviewing members of the audience so it was a bit mixed. There were some hilarious moments though.

    @Kirsty – thanks for the lovely comment.

    @Jazzabelle – the cardi’s from Zara.

    I love your outfit – leather skirts and big cardis are going to be my autumn uniform I think!

    Edinburgh looks awesome – I hope I’ll get a chance to finally visit this year!

    Tim Vine’s hilarious, I saw him years ago and laughed so much but couldn’t recall a single joke afterwards.
    Loving the wall of windmills and the cardi is fab, it’s so blooming cold at the moment. xxx

    Your nephew is the cutest !!! I’ve see a lot of cute british babies here in Scotland… it’s pretty cold here in Glasgow too but maybe I’m just used to the warm weather :)

  13. Sabine

    Nothing can beat a man’s love to his tractor! (and all the better when he’s got a well-dressed beauty standing next to him). I really want to visit Edinburgh one day. xo

  14. Harriet

    This looks like so much fun! I have never been to Edinburgh properly, I went once for dinner when staying in Glasgow, and once to look round the uni but I’d love to visit the Fringe.

    ps your cardi is amazing – what a fantastic shape!

  15. Couture Carrie

    Gorgeous photos!
    What fun!
    Love your cardi!

    The Zara cardi is pretty and obviously an excellent choice as evidenced by your big smile. The leather mini and the hosiery look wonderful on you too. i have forgotten where the castle was that the Rocky Horror Picture Show was filmed in, but i seem to recall an interview with one of the actors (Susan Sarandon perhaps?) commenting on how chilly it was during the long days and nights of filming. It will be hot where i am the next few days. It looks like you had an interesting visit there in Edinburgh.

  17. Nathalie

    I’ve always dreamed to visit Scotland, hope to do it sooner or later (better sooner I would say!). Ah ah ah, and that man dressed as William Wallas is really too gorgeos!

  18. shari @ little blue deer

    I disagree, the leather mini is perfect for the farm! Looks like great fun! XX!

  19. Winnie

    Robbie is adorable! Awwwww. Also, I want to visit the Fringe one day!

  20. Audrey Allure

    Sounds like a wonderful, eventful weekend! Love your outfit :)

  22. Cafe Fashionista

    Ah, what a wonderful weekend you had, darling! Little Robbie is utterly adorbs – and I’m loving your tights!! :)

  23. Nicola

    Fantastic photos Sarah! Your cardigan is beautiful so you should be kinda glad it was a little chilly. Looks like you had a wonderful time and your wee nephew is just adorable! x

  24. Platform Princess

    Your nephew is the most adorable child EVER. I thought my nephew had it in the bag, but he can defo give him a run for his money ;-)

  25. Sarah

    Thanks so much for all the lovely comments about Robbie. Obviously I’m biased, but he is indeed super cute! xx

  26. MJ

    My ex (and still friend) was performing at the Fringe this year and he said it was great – hope you enjoyed yourself!

  27. PinkBow
