Café écossais?

J'ai reçu une boîte de cadeaux divers à Noël de la part de mon employeur. Parmi tous les cossins, ce sachet de café, d'Edinburgh Tea and Coffee. Du café écossais, en somme. J'aurais préféré qu'ils m'envoient du thé de cette même compagnie. Il y avait aussi du thé ens achet, mais pas celui-là. Qu'à cela ne tienne, je vais le trouver, mais bon, c'est un autre sujet de billet (et une autre quête). J'ai donné le café à ma femme,pour le partager avec ses parents. Elle ne l'a pas encore essayé. Du café écossais, c'est juste bizarre, je dirais même incongru.

Will it be York?

Well, I learned today at work that my holidays have been approved. Which is great. Even if it is not for a while, knowing I have holidays to look forward to will be something to keep my spirit up. But that means my wife and I will need to decide where to go and organize this. As you may remember, we were hesitating between Edinburgh and York. Our heart leans towards to Scotland, however for practical reasons it is more likely to be Yorkshire. That said, we are also looking at other options, but I would really want to go up North for these holidays. Any suggestions? And if it is York, any tip of any kind? Places to stay or visit? I am open to suggestions.

Scotland or Yorkshire?

This is our dilemma these days: my wife and I want to plan our summer holidays and we don't know where to go. We are very tempted to visit either Scotland, more particularly but not certainly Edinburgh, or Yorkshire, probably in York. Not the new one, the old one. She has been to York, but never to Scotland. I have been to Scotland, once, when I was a child. I have been longing for it since then. This is where my ancestors come from. A journey to Scotland has been long overdue. But then, there is Yorkshire, one of the most picturesque region of England and a that I have been curious about for quite a long while. And I know of a couple of places in York I already want to visit. So we are having this terrible dilemma.
