Heading back down to Edinburgh soon for the fringe festival.
Wanted to run the Edinburgh Seven Hills last week- Our new self catering house (www.edinburgh-self-catering.org) is near Carlton hill where it starts. So it would have been really handy. Jacob twisted his calf muscle the day before- so we missed out all those hills- Arthurs seat is the most amazing hill- this high jutting out (ex-volcanic??) mountain right in the middle of the city.
Last time we did the Seven Hills we were freezing- but you can get that in the middle of a Scotland summer. Felt like it was snowing as we used our hands and feet to manouevre up the mountain
Maree and I are going to check out the omni-theatre, we're near the playhouse too so that might be next weekend.
Maree has nearly finished furnishing the Edinburgh terrace, has lots of funky art deco furniture now as well as the almost obligatory modern beds.
Must find out more about accomodation for children, things to do in Edinburgh for children- it would be good to make Carlyle as family friendly as possible- it makes such a difference to those relaxing stays. Hopefully one week and we will be finished.
