Lindsey's Lemonade

Lemonade is easy to make, it only requires three ingredients: Water, Sugar and Lemons. I knew that if I started a personal blog, I would be forced to write about food, as it's my passion. I would also write about everyday things (water), events that were totally awesome (sugar), and occasionally I would vent and rant about frustrations, irritations and things that could only be described as terrible, horrible, no-good very bad and sour (lemons.) Thus Lindsey's Lemonade was born. Drink it up.

The Union Canal

Today we focused on leisurely strolls around our new home. On the street just North of Colinton runs the Union Canal. It was a remnant of pre-railroad shipping transportation. Now it is used for recreation, is home to some ducks and swans, dog walkers and many joggers and bicyclists can be found on it's path. When we were polite enough to move out of the way, a happy "Cheers" was expressed. A nice man let us pet his dog. I told him to have a good day and he replied with "And you." I thought it was very funny (I'm sure because of the accent) but Ryan did not.

I am reading the menu of a narrow boat cafe along the canal.

This is the public park just opposite the canal. Dogs run free, and so do our children.

This is inside the cafe boat. We ordered hot chocolate with whipped cream and cakes. The owner/chef/waiter had dread locks down to his belt. Unexpected.
