Saturday, Hurray!!!

No card for you again today! 
Finally got round to adding inserts to the ones I need for this week!
My excuse is I've been a bit poorly with a bad cold!
I'll share a photo with you instead!
This is my Great Nephew Brandyn at his 1st Birthday party!


That's Graeme my other half who's holding him!
It's a fab pic, looks like Brandyn is flapping his wings, ready to fly away!!! lol

End of Festival Fireworks

We've just been upstairs at our bedroom window watching the fireworks 
to mark the end of the Edinburgh Festival!
I have to say it was one of the best displays I have seen in a long time! 
The fireworks and the music were perfectly synched!!!
We are soooo lucky to be able to see the bulk of the fireworks from home! 
It's quite a squash if you go up to Princes Street! 
The music by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra is broadcast on the local radio station 
& we can have a lovely glass of wine into the bargain!
Well done to all involved! Spectacular display!!! 
Will have a look at the pics I took on my phone but I'm guessing none will do any justice!!! 
If I find one I will post it!
As I guessed, none of the pics did any justice to the fireworks but I will share a pic 
from our walk this afternoon!


This chap appeared unannounced some time back, in the Water Of Leith 
and for a while nobody knew where he came from.
However, after a bit it turned out that he and a few others were a gift from a famous artist. 
They are metal sculptures but from a distance they look human! 
Can't begin to tell you about the trouble it caused when people spotted them around the place!

Edinburgh Fringe Begins!

Thought I'd share a few more photos of Ednburgh now that the Fringe is underway!
Even if you have no money, you can still enjoy the street performers!


We caught this guy who was using all his mums pots and pans etc as drums!


This guy amazed everyone by balancing on these wobbly bins and juggling with swords!


This young lady from Aus managed to escape from chains and straight jacket
 whilst standing on top of the ladder!


Had a fab lunch at the Mussel & Steak Bar, great food & excellent value
 if you're ever in the neighbourhood pop in!
