Too Good to be True

When we landed at the Edinburgh airport this morning, we were surprised to see the sun.  We generally find ourselves trotting through raindrops on our way to retrieve the rental car.

But not today!  It was gorgeous!  And the temperature was perfect by my standards.  So, when Marty dropped me off at the B&B this morning, on his way into the plant, we both figured that I'd have a delightful outdoor day.  Even the B&B owners commented that the weather had been fabulous for the past week.

But we can bid farewell to sun at the moment.  Actually, it looks like the sunshine has moved out for a few days.  I KNEW the forecast that I had been anticipating was just too good to be true!

At least let me share what I did manage to enjoy today.

Since we arrived way before check-in time,  I was not able to actually get into the room for several hours, but we had arranged to drop off the luggage while I kept myself busy until the room was ready.

I spotted this cute bench in the garden

Notice the sunshine?  I thought that this would be the perfect place to hang out and read a book, but since I had been traveling for way too many hours, I decided that it would be best to walk around a bit.

Ok, I'll admit that I was a bit surprised to spot this on the far side of the garden.

And, it appears that we're lucky enough to admire that statue from our room as well.

We are back in Dunfermline, but this time we are south of the town, offering an entirely different perspective of the abbey in the distance.

And, as it turns out, if we look up instead of down, we can admire the abbey from our room as well!

It just doesn't get too much better than that, does it?

Well...come to think of it....perhaps it does.

Because Marty claims that this beer is really the BEST, just as the glass states.

Who's arguing with that?
