Happy wedding day....
the setting (before everybody arrived)
The last week (especially the weekend) was filled with lots of activities. We helped voluntary at a wedding in East Leake. It was Jamies and Lauras wedding and they celebrated it in the rectory garden. We started helping at 12 o'clock and finishes at 8.
It was a bring and share lunch so every guest brang something. Our task was to set up tables, prepare the drinks, serve the drinks, clear all the tables, do the washing up and so on and so forth.
It was a looooong day and very stressful but in the end it was very nice and you can be proud of yourself for giving them a good time.

I am sitting at the moment in Ediburgh. We are staying in a very nice flat very close to the Botanic garden in Edinburgh and I must say it is really nice staying in a private flat in a huge city like this !
We enjoy our time. On Wednesday we went to Dalgety Bay and had a tour on the rescue boat. It was my first time on a fast boat like this and I really enjoyed it.

Yesterday (Thursday) it was raining so I went with N,H,M,F and a friend of them into the city centre. We wandered around Princess Street and came across street artists and musicians. It was great. At the moment the Fringe Festival is ongoing so the city is crowded. H. lived in Edinburgh and she showed us where she lived. It was near the parliament and Arthur's Seat.
We went into Mary's Kings Close. This is a guided tour underneath the ground of Edinburgh. You can see how people lived in their tiny little "rooms" in the 17th century. The tour was well-made. The guide was very enthusiastic and there were a lot of special effects. I must admit that the entry wasn't cheap but nevermind.
After our guided tour we met J&E at Ask.Italian. It's a famous restaurant brand and they are serving delicious Italian food. So we enjoyed the rest of the day with Pizza, Pasta and Profiteroles.
I can recommend Ask.Italian. The prices are human, the food is just delicious and the service was really friendly and nice. I would like to go again.
Today the weather was good so we had a lazy morning and then we went to Dalgety Bay. This is the place where N,H,M &F are staying and camping. We sat outside with them and had a good conversation. We were four women because Jane visited us. She is an old friend of J. and she is working in Edinburgh. She is originally from England so they are both very happy when they see each other. Patch loves to sit in the sun but when it's too hot he likes to relax. So he spent the whole day lying around and just chilling out. We had a picnic luch at the camping site and enjoyed life.
Today is Friday and we are staying here until Monday or Tuesday. J isn't sure yet so I'll see.
I got my new kindle paperwhite and I must say I am so happy with it. It is so handy, very light and I charged the battery only once and it's still going. I have bought several books (Fractured, Paper Twons, Asking for Alaska etc.) and today I saw a good offer for 20 english books. I love to read on it and you can easily carry it in your bag.
That's it for the moment,
I'll write more as soon as possible.
