A Day in the Botanical Gardens


After a few stressed out, anxiety filled days I needed some time out. Somewhere peaceful, somewhere beautiful. I've lived in Edinburgh for the past year now, and the Royal Botanical Gardens soon became my happy place here (Central park being my elsewhere one). Me and Finlay decided to take a picnic, my camera and ourselfs down to the botanics some chill time. 

Me and Finlay have visited the botanics four or five times now, Its our favourite place to go for some quiet time, Its beautiful, massive and full of friendly faces! We like to pick a new spot every time, as the gardens are so large there's plenty to explore. I like to find spots secluded from lots of people, just to really have some down time. After marching through secret paths looking for just the perfect spot, we soon saw camp. Through paths of flowers and under a giant tree, it was nothing but inviting. 


We pulled out the picnic blanket (well £5 primark throw) and settled down with our picnic.





I've taken to giving Finlay my camera and begging for him to take cute candids of me.. we're working on it. 













After a while, we decided to go for another walk and relocate. The reason for this, Honestly? we both just needed a wee and wanted to go find a pokestop to put a lure on. Bloody Pokemon.


After relocating and finding another quiet spot, we set up our lure and made camp for a wee while. Days like this are my favourite, nothing to worry about. Just happiness, food, and my favourite. I find getting out in the fresh air is a great way to cleanse myself of any bad mood. Moving up to Scotland and into the city has been one of the best decisions I have EVER made, but sometimes the busy, loud, full on atmosphere can be over whelming, but that's why I love Edinburgh, alot of cities you'd have to get out of for quiet time, but in Edinburgh there are SO many parks and gardens located all over the city. Perfect for days like this.




Short and sweet. I Just wanted to share with you this day, it truly has been one of my favourite. 
But can we just appreciate the fact its Friday. I have a blog post up at a normal time, and we are finally getting organised! Be sure to check out my other posts if you haven't already. This blog things pretty fab ay!
