remembering 2006

there were a couple of bits and bobs of 2006 that i never got to share... y'know... how one gets caught in the whirlwind of life, living, and being...

so here's to remembering some of these forgotten bits of travelling, visiting, and participating:


SNOWBIRD, april 2006

upOnPeak@snowbird_weeNme

i learnt to ski properly... did little curvy turns to cut down blue trails... and overcame some of my fears...


LONDON, july 2006

the intricately carved stone pillars and walls of the NHM are just as mesmerising as the skeletal remains

zeppedy_snoozing

i befriended a beautiful puss... who doesn't rely on his boots and hat to charm...


EDINBURGH, july 2006

view_from_crags_over_parliament

who could resist a walk along the crags, which coil round the cheeks of Arthur's Seat and wind towards the Holyrood Palace (Queen's Scottish Residence); particularly when the view overlooks to the Castle, the Firth of Fife Bridge in the greater distance, and the new Scottish Parliament below?

"There is hope in honest error,
None in the icy perfection of the mere stylist"
Charles Rennie Mackintosh's quote engraved among others on the outer wall of the Parliament

portobello_tea@ruth's

a visit to Edinburgh is not complete without popping round to r's for a cuppa tea... and saying hello to the sea from portobello beach

plaisir_du_chocolat_treats

and you MUST indulge in some handmade ganache at Plaisir du Chocolat along the Royal Mile... it's absolutely divine.


TWIN CITIES, october 2006

new_mellow_visitor's stripey sides...

i welcomed a new stripey mellowy friend into my apartment... who's just visiting for a wee while...


ADELAIDE, december 2006
