Part 1 - The Toilet - was here

Okay, one more ;) So, let's go inside:









This is the living room. Can't you see the two of them sitting there, reading the paper, or experimenting? Sitting by the fireplace, while outside it's stormy and rainy? (it seems it was always stormy and rainy in the books)

Yeah, it is a bit cluttered, I guess they wanted to get as much as possible into it. The private rooms are less full.

I just love how cosy it always sounded, with the fireplace and the wind howling outside... I love the fall season for that reason, looking out at trees bending and the world seemingly ending... or rain splashing against the window... it's great fun - when you are in a warm room ;)

Last year in Glasgow we had that. The worst storms you can imagine, and rain of course, there were floods even. And we chose this day of all to go to Edinburgh. My umbrella did not survive it. It was impossible weather. We were soaked to the bone. Like if you stood under a shower with clothes on. It was so bad they closed down the castle at the hill as they were afraid people would go over the railing. And in the mids of it all stood a man playing the pipes. I don't have a picture of him sadly as I was busy fighting with the storm ;)

There are some pictures of this unforgettible experience here: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/115796.html

What a bad luck! You must have been lucky not getting a cold. That's an unforgettable experience ;)

And in the mids of it all stood a man playing the pipes.
Like it was ordinary weather on an ordinary day. To him, maybe it was :)

Maybe ;) I just wondered, if the instrument did not get wet / destroyed?

But I bought that wonderful Scottish highland cow with kilt and Nessie in the tourismus information, so at least that was worth the trip: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/85781.html

I definitely need to go back to Edinburgh one day though. As I basically haven't seen anything of the city. It was all grey.
