I'm just about to go back to the city I spent my 20s in (if easyJet don't cancel the flight again) and this really resonated, as your writing often does. Walking past the all night bars and dives in Barcelona as a forty something with my kids in tow is going to feel different. Like you I don't think I'll want to go back to the past either but hopefully it'll be fun to visit.

Beautiful.
I'm so pleased you grew to enjoy Edinburgh after what wasn't the greatest start across the Forth, you did well to persevere. x
