I didn't even know you were planning a trip over here, never mind that you've already been to Dublin and are now in Edinburgh! It sounds like you've been having a fantastic time and you were so lucky with the weather on your castle trip too. I also hear you managed to meet up with Jac and Chele, so I'm looking forward to hearing more about that.<br /><br />I love Edinburgh, it's my favourite UK city and has quite a few family connections too. Hope the rest of your stay is a good one.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81716905961836272062012-12-02T23:09:42.407+11:002012-12-02T23:09:42.407+11:00Your postcard style photo's in this and your l...Your postcard style photo's in this and your last post are gorgeous.

It nearly ended badly. I got back to the car and no phone. A run back to the cafe, no phone. They checked with all the waitresses, still no phone, but I wasn't budging, so the manager rang it with his phone and we found it on the crate of oranges at the front door. Cooper must have taken it with him when he ran ahead and just laid it down and left it as if it was nothing. Jings! So lucky to get it back.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69468685315121593272012-12-02T10:22:23.740+11:002012-12-02T10:22:23.740+11:00We're going to Edinburgh for a week next Septe...We're going to Edinburgh for a week next September - it looks SO pretty.
