Calendar Girls

Hi all,
Just had to share with you what I was up to yesterday afternoon! 
We had a girlie day out, my Mum, sis and the nieces! 
I was working in the morning, helping out with exams but got off at 11.30 &
met the girls at a coffee shop then off for lunch at a local Italian Restaurant. 
Then Off we went to see


It was a fantastic show! 
We laughed and cried, laughed a bit more, cried a bit more etc etc etc!
 Definitely a must see if you can!!!

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!

Foodies Festival Holyrood Park

We're off to the Foodies Festival later
Hoping to catch a couple of the Celeb Chefs doing their thing!



 Lots of free samples and tasty things to eat & drink there, or to take home!


One stall is selling Grey Squirrel which is best cooked in the 
slow cooker or pressure cooker apparently! Interesting!!!

Cargo | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2010


Caught this fantastic production at the Mela in Leith Links.
The Mela is an Asian gathering/fair type occasion! 
It has been running in Edinburgh for a good number of years & has 
 been taken over by the Festival. Can't help thinking it's lost it's way a bit!

Edinburgh Photos

This is where we've been hanging out over the last couple of days.


It's in the heart of the city where the main part of the university is and is surrounded
 by many of the venues in which the Fringe shows are held!


As of today, the Fringe officially starts and our beautiful city will be bursting at the seams 
with tourists and performers, talent scouts,agents etc as well as people trying 
to go about their usual daily business.
We're back off up there today to see what shows we can see and what stars 
we can spot among the crowds!
