30

I'm way behind, as always, but my birthday was in March and we had the most beautiful day out at Linlithgow. Yummy hot chocolate in little cafes, walks along the lake to see all the beautiful water birds, and then a spooky visit to the old ruined palace (we were the only ones there and it was very atmospheric). Fun!

Om nom nom.

Okay, there were a LOT of birds.

Linlithgow is beautiful when it's just edging into Spring.

Architecture! History! Pretty stuff!

Beautiful old castle. Really beautiful. (Much better than Edinburgh Castle!)

It was like walking into a fantasy novel. Only cooler. I wish I could convey to you the scale of this place, and how impossible it seemed that it was real.

A wonderful birthday!
