Simply..a fun day....

4/8/2019

When did you last have a fun day out?

I mean a whole day with nothing else to do but enjoy yourself...

We started with coffee on the roof terrace of Harvey Nicols in Edinburgh for the view overlooking St Andrew's Square.

On the way back down through the store we fantasised about glamorous gowns

..and crazy shoes!

We visited three galleries - The Scottish Gallery, Open Eye and the National Portrait Gallery ( where we also had lunch) and took a refreshing late afternoon stroll through the Botanic Gardens.

and finished with an hour's people watching while sipping healthy cocktails!

Where will you go for your fun day out?

I will be back to Edinburgh before The Festival ends... (26 Aug).

I find it so therapeutic to have a whole day out.
Your sounds a perfect balance of pleasurable experiences, Freda.
I've only allowed myself half days' out for quite a while. So, will follow your example: Clifton Lido & The Georgian House in Bristol, planned for September, when it's a bit cooler.

What a great day! Harvey Nichols is a good place to see bling.

I've nothing fun scheduled in the short term, but will be heading over to Paris and beyond next month for a holiday. Looks like I will be clumping all my fun days together at one go. :)

Harvey Nicols is extraordinary - like another planet really! Paris I am sure will be wonderful.

Amazing clothes! Do people really dress like that ? Guess the price tags were pretty amazing too !
Having spent all afternoon blanching veggies from the garden for the freezer,your post came as a bit of a culture shock ! My waterproof garden clogs are not quite in the same league but my painted lady companions were dressed in style!

Lovely dressy companions Mary B. Aren't we lucky to be able to sample all these different environments?

I “admired” this post while traveling, but must comment on the dresses! I simply love the middle one! There is a frank lloyd wright element to the fabric design..But i’d have to be about 8 inches taller for it to be flattering on me...hahaha..still..it IS lovely to dream, isn’t it?

Simply..a fun day....
