    Some of my best memories are in this part of Edinburgh =') I used to live in Marchmont and walk down to Morningside where I volunteered at the Oxfam bookshop early in the morning. I still think about those walks as my happy place

    I really enjoyed this - the first bookshop that you showed looks so amazing - Wow. The Chocolate Shop that you showed - I would just die in that place if I went there. Chocolate is my favorite candy. Here in the United States in the State of Michigan there is a Chocolate Candy Shop that is very similar to the one that you showed. They make their own Chocolate Candy and they make their own Ice Cream Flavors too. It is to die for.
    Thank you for taking me along on your adventure trip. Everything is so pretty.
    Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🤗🔰📚📖❤️

    This was amazing, I really want to visit Edinburgh, and we were thinking about going next summer but since the world situation is so unpredictable and it's not the easiest trip to take (non-EU and travel wise), I'm afraid we won't be able to do it unfortunately. :( Keep making these kinds of videos! :)
