April '08

A busy month ;-)

We had dinner with one of angus's colleagues, Chris and partner Katie at our flat. And the followign monday night we had a great dinner with other friends Clare & Paul - a very chilly evening at their cottage on a farm south of Edinburgh. Off to London for a long weekend. We caught the train down - it was great! Met up with Hannah &Owen & Dave on the Saturday - a big day of wandering museums, sights, sunshine and rain in London! Sunday we met up with Ronald and went for a walk in Hyde Park, after a morning coffee break in Notting Hill. We explored the fabulous Victoria & Albert Museum with Michal in the afternoon. A tasty meal all together in the evening. Great being able to meet up with two cousins!! We spent the Monday together going to the London Review Bookshop - what a fabulous place! And then we just wandered around London before catching our train back in the evening - a lovely relaxing way to travel and it all went smoothly.

The following weekend we had a visitor from Germany! Yvonne came to stay with us! We did the touristy thing in Edinburgh on the Saturday - a pretty windy day, and had a tasty meal at home in the evening. On Sunday Yvonne came to church with me, and we visited the modern Art museum nearby. The afternoon was sunny and we sat and soaked up the sunshine in our flat with a relaxing afternoon chatting ;-) The following weekend was beautiful weather. We did a yoga workshop on the saturday - acroyoga, which was great fun! On the Sunday we had a lovely walk through one of the nearby allotments (lovely little gardens) and sat in the sunshine on the hill in Inverleith park. I had lunch with Mandi in the sunshine and managed to get a mini-tan! Work is going great for both of us, and we're busy and happy ;-) Cheerio till next time!
