Twenty things I will miss when I leave:
(these are from the top of my head and in no particular order)
- The brief moment of endless possibilities when I walk into Tesco
- Mcvities biscuits- chocolate (dark of course) and plain (with either cheddar or Wensleydale cheese)
- The sound of rain hitting on my window
- The sounds of Saturday night during the game at Malone's
- Having a sit down with a cup of tea, only planning to stay for a little, but actually talking for an hour
- The top view of Arthur's Seat and from the top of the Craigs
- Kilimanjaro Coffee
- Living with such fantastic people
- The sound of bagpipes emanating from nearly every single shop on the Royal Mile
- Waving to tourist buses and feeling like a local
- Having a flat dinner where everyone leaves their phones for a little bit and we chat and catch up with each other
- The smell of the earth after the rain
- The sweeping majesty of the Highlands
- Learning how independent I can be
- How I take a splash of milk and two spoonfuls of sugar, and make it strong or not at all
- Being able to walk literally everywhere
- Always feeling safe, even in Cowgate
- Learning how I work as a person, I know this sounds strange but in the process of living here I have learned a great deal about myself and what kind of person I am and who I want to become
- The beautiful collection of books in the library
- Most of all I will miss all of the wonderful people I have met here.
UGH.
Until my next post
