EDINBURGH . .

Returned from Edinburgh on Monday evening, after a much needed break from Florence Nightingale duties whilst Stephen's daughter stayed with him.

Driving home from shopping ( M & S in the Gyle) to where my daughter lives, stopping at a nearby house when she said "Guess who lives here?" Hmm . . . . not a clue? A clue. He's a great pal of Gordon Brown - has just given back some of his pension - think RBS!!
There's an exclusive little clique who live and socialise in this area - including Ian Rankin - JK Rowling - and Alexander McCall Smith of Mme Ramotse fame.

Spent 4 lovely days in Edinburgh. Attended a concert for children with learning difficulties with my grandson one evening. It was fabulous and every child in Pilrigg school took part. The concert was held in one of Edinburgh's main theatres and was extremely professional - apart from last bit when fireworks on stage set off the fire alarm and, to the children's delight, we were greeted by fire engines in full flow as we left the building!

Hmm the name escapes me...BUT another cheating MP I guess. If we did what they have been doing we would be locked up for sure. Makes me so cross.
