Well, not in the cafe itself but rather in the area attached directly to it which is being refurbished by Sir Norman Foster (& his design office): Edinburgh's Quarter Mile. This nice cafe with a scandinavian style bakery and delicious cardamone hot chocolate would be just a part of the deal. I went there for the first time with a German lady living in Edinburgh whose portrait I was commissioned to take and we met there to discuss the details - if it had not been for that meeting I would have been still on autopilot straight to a nearby Starbucks. What a waste of a perfectly nice afternoon in a corporate surroundings would that be.
Now I am dreaming about a nice airy flat in one of the cubicles of the Quarter Mile, full of light, near a hospital turned into an exclusive building developement. Actually Simon was born in that building many winters ago. Maybe one day he will wake up with a view over the Meadows again?
