As usual, it takes a week of holiday in Edinburgh to give me the time to write something for this blog.  I should probably make the theme tartan or something.

First of all, to provide closure on the cliff-hanger of the previous post, the cool thing we did was spend an afternoon on a wooden ketch with full rigging, looking at the local wildlife.  Amongst other things, we saw basking sharks and a lot of seals.

Then, to summarise what we’ve been up to for the last year:

• We had a really excellent holiday in the US in October and managed to fit in two musicals on opposite coasts, meeting David Bryan from Bon Jovi, having the best brunch ever (at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse) and spending time with Paul, Amy and Tom.  Very cool.
• We ordered a lot of delicious cupcakes for many occasions from Fancie
• Kathy got a new job and was able to move up to Sheffield (and I’ve managed to do considerably less travelling recently)
• We had a marvellous weekend of fun at Hurdlow Grange with a huge group of friends
• We went to Athens for Pei & Agis’ wedding, to Stamford for Becky & Martin’s wedding and started to get on with the business of planning our own wedding

Finally, I’m up in Edinburgh so might as well do the usual run-down of the shows I’ve seen.  First part up shortly.
