Longniddry Bents

We also took a drive up the coast to Longniddry bents. (We were aiming for further along but got distracted.) 

The weather has greatly improved at this point and we took a walk before lunch. We have no idea what the large concrete blocks are but they were all the way along this side of the bay. 

After the walk we chilled out with fish and chips and ice-cream on the rocks before heading the other way to the beach. The beach is lovely and was pretty much all ours. 

We walked out to the sea and all paddled a little. It was freezing! And confirms my suspicions that all these cold water swimmers are slightly crazy. 

While mom and dad were up we also drove over to South Queensferry but the weather was awful so will have to go back when the weather nicer. It is very cute and has an awesome place for cakes. We also went out for dinner with Caroline and her mom, first meal out in a restaurant in a long time. 

It was great to have them up and feel better now. I had my stitches out this week (that was not fun; hearing "I am going to have to dig that one out" by a woman holding a scalpel is never a comfy feeling). Hopefully the pain is going to keep getting less and I should be able to go and out and have some more fun this year. 

Musselburgh

The end of last year the beginning of this have been boring and a disaster but fingers crossed it is looking up from here. 

I have been in and out of hospital since the beginning of the year, ending in surgery the beginning of May which hopefully means the issue is fixed! The upside of this is mom and dad came up for their first visit to look after me. They dragged me out for walks (only short ones but got me moving). 

I took them (or more accurately directed them and they took me) to Musselburgh for chips on the beach and a walk around the harbour. We weren't out very long as it was bit chilly.

Not appreciating the Scottish summer weather

Impressive skies.
