To end the trip, we took the train from York to Edinburgh and then on to Queensferry, a town just West of Edinburgh but close to the airport. Due to a number of delays, our arrival in Edinburgh was late enough to qualify for a refund. Steady rain limited our activities there, so we went to Marks and Spencer for afternoon tea and to stock up on biscuits.
I was still raining when we got to our B and B. The owner Anne graciously offered to drive us to an excellent Indian restaurant for dinner where we enjoyed our meal in dry clothing. On the wet walk back we saw some of what makes Queensferry a popular destination - cobbled streets, maritime history and three iconic bridges over the Firth of Forth.
Returning to Toronto was uneventful in a good way. After 23 days away, it was wonderful to see how lush and green the neighbourhood was. Home Sweet Home!
