Two days in Edinburgh have flown by. It was great to catch up with
Colin he remembers 'that mad day' well. We checked out most of the
spots from the 2007 trip but the weather wasn't so dreary - no sign of
scotch mist.
The Queen has been avoiding me. She was hiding at Buckingham palace
while we were in London then left Sandringham just as we got to
Norfolk and flew to watch the Irish derby. Tracked her down yesterday.
She popped out of Holyrood palace to inspect the guard just as I
walked round the corner.
We walked over Arthur's seat to bagpipes as there was a festival in
the park below. Very Scottish. Off to Lakes District today via
Hadrians wall which I have always wanted to see.
YOU SAW THE QUEEN?!!
ReplyDeleteYup sure did. She was dressed in lolly pink dress with matching coat and hat. That's how I knew it was her! She was staying at Holyrood but she drove around to the front steps to inspect the troops. Ah the life. Some of the crowd that gathered when I said 'look it's the Queen' tried standing on the railings. The bobby's wee NOT amused.
