arthur's.seat

you had a bit of time to wonder around the city and you chose to run to the country.  it looks like you are out there in the country side but really you are just at the other edge of golden mile and still within the city of edinburgh.
you admire king arthur and his seat from a distance, knowing that when you stand on top of the hill, you will have magnificent view of the city, the castle and the firth of forth and of the sea beyond, and of the glimpse of scottish highland perhaps.
no, you didn't set your feet up there, this is as close as you can get to arthur's seat, one of the seven hills of edinburgh and looming over the city. you admiring him from a distance.
it's a hill to conquer, although is very reachable but you don't have the right shoes with you as you are here for work, not for a conquest or for a hike.
but arthur's seat ticks your heart. you will try to be on top of the hill next trip, if at all possible.

so dear king arthur, please wait! he probably would since he has been there for decades and witness the fight of england and scotland. king arthur is very charming and youthful under the sunlight and the greenery, you would really like to meet him in close proximity one day.

happy independence day to my home country ^.^ and the extended malay new year (raya) celebration. but for you, it's just another working day.
