Fish & Chips - a must eat!

What a lovely weekend! On Friday night I went to a play, Antigone, in which my dear friend played the lead. Such a brilliant performance!

Saturday heralded in our long-awaited trip to Anstruther. A group of us hungry St. Andrews students took a bus along some gorgeous scenery to a near-by fishing village, Anstruther. Home of the “Best Fish & Chips in Britain”, we really couldn’t resist! Apparently, the Duchess of Cornwall and Tom Hanks also enjoyed their trips to Anstruther Fish Bar. (I’m still not sure which guest I was more impressed by.) This wee shop totally deserved all the accolades, though. The deep-fried fish and oil-greased chips just sort of melted in your mouth. It was a beautiful experience. A pretty standard Scottish meal, I would recommend this dish to anyone, well, anyone who doesn’t suffer a seafood allergy! Surprisingly, no mis-adventures occurred and we tromped around Anstruther, leaving our footprints in the sand, for a couple of hours until heading back to our beloved St. Andrews.

I was cordially invited to a baby shower for a friend at church. It was such a blessing to fellowship with other women, all of whom have children, and see life at that stage. Besides, I think baby bumps are the cutest! Then, Saturday night, the Christian Union held a ball!

Far more enjoyable than my first celidh – remember way back in February, full of reluctant JSAs - this dance included dinner, worship, and dance. It was pretty intense, but wonderful. Then, of course, dancing celidh for an hour is the best fun you will ever have while getting a cardio-workout! Such wild times! I’m happy to report that I didn’t look half-bad, either! On a more serious note, I thought how amazing it was to party-it-up on Saturday night, and then see those same people in church on Sunday morning. Christians really have the best reasons to celebrate!

Of course, this crazy weekend meant that Sunday was pretty slow. I worked on some assignments, got several chores completed, and caught up with a friend. I really need to get cracking on the books this week, and hammer away at this essay (my last!) due Friday. Until next time!
