What with all the pre-Deutschland reading and the post-Deutschland blogging, I managed to stretch my fortnight’s holiday into a 3-month Germanophile indulgence. But it is now time to say goodbye (temporarily, of course) and start meandering back to Scotland. In just 5 days, the marquees in Charlotte Square will open for business, the Edinburgh Book Festival begins.
But before my attention reverts northwards, let me just post a couple of photographs that I wish I had taken. Perhaps I’ll know how to take breathtaking shots like these the next time I visit. In the meantime I’ll print them out to stick in my photograph album (and there’s your book-related link to legitimise this post.)
And finally:
Only one thing wrong with the last photo. The plane is taking off not landing. Oh, be still my aching heart …..
Will we get pictures of Edinburgh too? It would be a very nice touch for those of us who are far away and you are certainly establishing this site as the literary traveller’s home.
With the Edinburgh International Book Festival coming up over the next two weeks, I think it’s odds on that Edinburgh will be featuring somewhere along the way …..
Castles? Parks? Maybe even pubs?
Can’t wait.
