The first week of school is over and so is my first week back at work!! Glad it is the weekend, the football training has started again so have the matches every weekend.
Back to our holidays in Scotland and the first weekend I went to Edinburgh with my sister Elena and husband Mark. During the month of August it is Fringe Festival so the city is teeming with more visitors than usual. I was very happy to go as I had not been to the Fringe for many many years. We had two events booked, the first was called The Art and Science of Gin Making. Over the last couple of years I have taken a liking to gin as has my sister so we were both quite excited about this. It lasted one hour and we got 2 G&Ts and we tasted some other ones. It was quite interesting to hear the history about gin making in Edinburgh.
Wondering through the city you get given lots of flyers for shows and most of them are free. If we had had more time we all would have liked to go and see some. You could easily spend a whole month here visiting the shows, exhibitions, museums and later on in the month comes the book festival. There were many great authors coming that I would have liked to have seen!
In the evening we went to see the Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, (if you are a bit sensitive you maybe some jokes you won`t like) he was really funny and on many occasions quite shocking and outrageous. It was a sold out event.
The next day we wondered around Edinburgh for a bit before heading back home. It was a super weekend! If you ever get the chance to go to the fringe festival you should!!
Have a great weekend!!
