Edinburgh – Family, Friends and the Fringe

Edinburgh – Family, Friends and the Fringe

Back to Edinburgh, to meet up with Lois’ Aunt & Uncle (Barbara and Peter) and cousin

Jim and his daughter Emily. Had a great Chinese Banquet at Jimmy Chung’s next to the station and coffee in town. It was lovely to catch up and for Sasha and Emily to meet for the first time, holding hands as they walked along the busy Edinburgh streets.

We also had a lovely dinner out with Phillip, Lois’s cousin on her mum’s side.

At the Fringe, there was something for all. We walked along the Royal Mile and saw lots of strange sights…with actors, dancers, street performers all enticing passersby to go to their shows.

Sasha and I did a Bollywood dance workshop and had a great time. Ed’s pick was Two Drummers Drumming and was a fun show. He was given a badge with “Proud to be a Drummer” – and of course, bought the requisite T-shirt. Out in the lobby of the Bongo Club we bumped into Vali from Perth, a dance instructor. In town, we also saw a few of the rugby boys from the Western Force who were up for the day in Edinburgh.

One of the highlights this time in Edinburgh was the B&B we stayed out. Craigevar had fast wifi which was welcome, and a gorgeous little garden complete with fairies and goblins. Sasha loved playing in there, rain or shine (and we had a bit of both)
