The best meal this week was beef and ale pie served with mixed vegetables and mash. The beef is cooked with ale (a type of beer). The pie part is similar to a puff pastry - a very light and fluffy roll on top of the beef. The mixed vegetables included carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. Mash is similar to mash potatoes.
In Edinburgh, there were musicians playing the bagpipes on the streets. In Glasgow, there were many teenagers and young adults singing and playing instruments on the main shopping street. It was all wonderful to listen to.
I love Harry Potter. Edinburgh is where J.K. Rowling wrote many of the Harry Potter books. She wrote the first one mainly in The Elephant House Cafe. I had a lot of fun walking through the city and seeing where she got inspiration from. Diagon Alley is based on Victoria Street.
