Summer is pretty much finished - weather hasn't been great for the last week or so, already caught my first cold of the season... But I had time to do some day trips here and there while the sun was still shining on the British Islands.
Me and my dad went for a day out in New Brighton - just across the river from Liverpool. The wind was really strong but we had a nice day out on English beach, with all that involves: fish&chips, lots of sand blown everywhere by the wind and a pint in the beer garden!

Also took a day trip to York - only got to spend a few hours there but loved it. Old pubs, old cobbled street and the York Minster, the old Cathedral dates back to 1220 and it reminded me of the churches on the continent....
The last trip of all was a week end in Edinburgh, in occasion of the Fringe Festival. It's the largest art festival in the world, with more than 300 venues and show going on until late at night ... the comedian of the one we saw at 00:45 am started the show asking "how dirty do you want this to get?" The city is beautiful but it gets even more lively, busy and intense over the month of August when the festival is on. Managed to see 12 show in 3 days, we really packed it but I had a really nice time and I cannot wait to go back for the third round next year!
