    Awww, thanks Primula. That's really sweet and mega nice of you! I'm totally touched that you were thinking of me whilst on your bus in Edinburgh! :D I wasn't planning on going to the dungeons as we are pushed for time, and we have both been to the ones in York and London. But it is really nice of you to ask.

    By the way to send a private message to some one you click their name on the left of their post and will give you an option to 'send a private message to...' If you click on that it takes you to the private message bit, which is just like writing a normal post but is just between the 2 people.

    Not long until Edinburgh now! :D Have got the cat sitter all sorted to Harold will be fed and watered etc while we are away. Just over a week! :D

    D- n't buy from the tartan shops on the Royal Mile - there be rip offs!

    Also, walk about halfway down the Mile, nip into the Museum of Childhood (free and bags o'nostalgia) and grab a fudge sample from the nomarific fudge shop next door!

    Have a lovely weekend in Edinburgh Laura :D
