Hi! Seeing as I’ve been so quiet lately, thought I’d pop in over here and give a well-needed update. 
As you may or may not know, I moved to Edinburgh last December, and although I cannot begin to understand how it’s already almost been a year, living in this beautiful city has really opened my eyes to new experiences and overall mindsets.

Aside from the beautiful architecture, arts and cultural spaces, oh and climate, what probably struck me the most is the abundance of greenery this city has to offer. I’m lucky enough to be living in an area that’s surrounded by multiple parks and gardens, including the Botanical Gardens themselves, which have been a source of so much serenity (I know I know – getting all poetic). But really, I hadn’t realised how much I needed the green open spaces, heck I even went for a short run (or flailing of arms as I jogged across a small area of grass) which felt so liberating! and realising that these spaces have become such a rare commodity back in Malta saddens me.
