The very first thing we did when we got to Edinburgh was to drop our bags at the hotel. The second thing we did was to seek out some coffee, which we found at this lovely shop that sells plants and coffee. It was a tiny place made even cozier by the condensation on the insides of the windows and the drizzle outside.

And later that day, after I’d had coffee and a brief exploration of our temporary new neighborhood, someone did me the kind favor of walking by with a purple umbrella.
