I love Edinburgh!
After the Great Scottish Swim being cancelled, Trina and I decided not to waste a weekend being grumpy at home and decided to go to Scotland anyway! Friday night Trina picked me up from work, and by 10pm we were safely in the city that I love having a cuppa with 2 boys whom I love!
Saturday we started our walk down Princes Street. The crowds starting to gather the closer we go into the city. It is amazing how the city swarms during the festival, buzzes with a hive of activity.
After collecting some random tickets from the half price hut, watched some street theatre, we meandered our way over to Monster Mash for some lunch. It's a great little cafe and basically dinner and mash is what they sell! Simple and effective - it works!
We headed to watch a fairly dire comedy act, and the took part in a "Glee club" of sorts singing everything from war tunes to advert themes! It was great! But that is what the festival is all about.... a bit if this, a bit of that, some brilliant and some crap!
We made our way back through the city to Laurence and Gareth's flat, in time to watch The X Factor, have dinner, drink wine and then play board games. A lovely day in a city that walking is such a joy! Pictures here.
Love Iona xx
