Reasons to follow @argonautbooks on social #426 - to attend author book signing effects. Here @justinleeandersonauthor reads from book two of the Eidyn Saga.
Festive fusion food? Mince Pie Samosa at @sabzi_2021 (newly enhanced with a 9 o'clock licence).
Birdy’s festive dinner @thebotanistuk! A wonderful time was had. Full review coming soon! #edinburghreviews #festivedinner #edinburgh #christmas #edinburghchristmas #diningout #eatingout

There's even Christmas Trees for sale up the road. An alternative evening out.
Somewhere new for #sugarsunday as Girdy visits @marias_kitchen21 for a delicious Italian limoncello bread and butter pudding.
