You may remember that we have a house guest. We’ve taken him out with us almost everywhere since his arrival.
Here is photographic evidence of The Oma’s adventures so far:
Hugging some cider at Sofi’s:
Offering me a rose. Possibly drunk here:
Zombie coffee is good for hangovers:
More coffee at Artisan Roast. He appreciated the signage:
Perusing Festival posters:
And enroute to a bookshop. His hosts didn’t buy any books. He wanted some postcards. No such luck.
In the middle of a celtic-knotted compass in The Meadows:
Posing in front of The Usher Hall. Probably wondering if they need any robot guitarists.
Trying to blend in with the furniture at Frisky, after enjoying some of their frozen yogurt:
Maybe it was a sugar-high, but he was very happy to get to Edinburgh Castle:
And even happier to to see the Scottish flag:
Here he is having a moment outside The Scottish Parliament:
And then Sarge took The Oma and George up Arthur’s Seat.
The boys go hillwalking:
And to prove they made it down from there…
We took The Oma to the movies. To see Ted. We thought it was appropriate somehow.
Some notes on the photos:
They are a joint effort.
Sarge climbed hills to get some of them. He loves me that much.
The Oma reminds you to drink responsibly.

Fantastic! I should have packed myself in that box!
Well, there is a party next year! 😉
I’ll be sure to pack my fanciest hat. 😉
Reblogged this on The Oma Today Project and commented:
Our hero’s having a great time in Scotland!
Great pics! I love your bag!
Thanks, The Hipster does, too! That bag is very popular.
Has he met Flat Stanley?
Good question. Perhaps they could do lunch!
My parents went up to Arthur’s Seat while we were in Edinburgh, but I didn’t have the energy. I stayed at home and wrote instead. Story of my life, really 😉
I also appreciate that signage. That’s good signage.
Very good signage.
While they went up, I read and people-watched.
Successful day all round.
It appears the Oma is having a grand time. You are such good hosts!
I LOVE your Oma and totally dug this post showing all the adventures! Looking forward to seeing more 🙂
What fun!
He definitely enjoyed his trip. You can see it in his face 😉
