This morning we went for breakfast at the Roseleaf, my favourite cafe in Edinburgh.

Tom and I shared the pancakes and shore eggs benedicts. The pancakes taste amazing with banana and toffee sauce. I also had an I-Pal smoothie which was carrot, apple and ginger juice which is good for your eyes.

The guy next to us ordered a fry up which was served in a frying pan.

We then stopped for coffee and cake at The Village Coffee House in Gullane.

Our first stop was Port Seaton which was covered in bunting.

There was a festival on called the 3 Ports Art Festival where people's houses had been set up as mini art galleries and you could browse from one door to the next.

I just liked snooping in other people's houses.

A poor little dog lost it's ball in the sea and couldn't swim out far enough to get it back. We watched for ten minutes as the ball made it's way around the dock and finally ended up on some rocks. The dog was so happy to get it back!

We then stopped at a farm cafe and shop which reminded us of the Pillars of Hercules in Fife.

The cafe was too busy to sit in so we just bought some chocolate. The farm breeds cute little wild pigs and we asked if we could see them but they were too dangerous.

I got a raspberry chocolate log which was really tasty.

It was very kitsch inside with antiques everywhere and old fashioned music on the record player.

Tom and I shared a rocky road cake and some millionaire's shortcake.

We spotted a port-a-loo in the newspaper which had blown over in the storm and, when we looked out of the window, there it was!

Our next stop was North Berwick where we walked along the windy beach.

I managed to get some squished pennies in the visitor centre.

It was dinnertime, so we drove back to Leith.

We went for dinner at International Starters, a restaurant that serves only starters from various cuisines around the world.

You're suppose to order 2-3 plates per person but they portions were quite large. Mum and I shared tamales and a quesadilla.

We went for dessert at Chop Chop. The restaurant was really busy and our peanut dumplings came out undercooked so we ended up getting them free.

After dinner we met up with Sirin and Shell for a drink at the bar in the Malmason Hotel. It was very fancy with lots of lovely smelling candles.
