The Jolly Botanist

We loved the savoury muffins I made on Sunday and I had some supplies to use up, so I decided to make a new batch and this time I made sweet pecan, apple & cinnamon muffins which were also delicious and kept us fed for the whole week.

My cookbook collection has grown a lot recently, as has my collection of gin, vodka and rum from Cocktail Hour so it's time to get a new bookcase to store them all.

We headed to Ikea and started planning our designs over a slice of Diam cake in the cafe.

When we first got Fig, I thought we'd never be able to to do Ikea runs in him but we put the roof down and our bookcases fitted perfectly. Everyone was giggling at us in the carpark.

The moon looked really pretty as we were walking along the canal at twilight.

The Jolly Botanist Edinburgh, Scotland, GB

There's a new gin bar in the city called The Jolly Botanist and I couldn't wait to try it out.

They have a four page gin menu with recommended tonics and garnishs. There were so many I wanted to try but I went for Edinburgh Gin's Valentines gin which was really nice.
