spring is here again...

So spring's been here for a while and apparently summer is on it's way...the Meadows are lined with gorgeous trees in full pink bloom, the lambs are out and about being very cute (in the countryside, not in Edinburgh) and the sun has been shining quite consistantly for a few weeks.

I've been trying to save money and plan for the summer, still want to do a fair bit of travelling before I head back to Australia. The plan at the moment is to backpack through more of Europe in early july, meet up with Mum and Nigel in Paris and then make our way up to Scotland for a bit of a road trip. The Edinburgh Festival starts as they leave and continues right through to the beginnaing of September. By this time though I'll be making my way from Montreal to New York, probably via Toronto and Niagra etc.

I'm going to miss Edinburgh... people here are so polite on the bus, the castle is there every day looking gorgeous, dogs sit outside of internet cafes barking like mad.

I can't take this barking. Will write again soon.
