It's been six weeks since I started my new job at Marwell and at last the sun is shining!  The job has more than met my expectations and I am blessed with some really great people to work with

One of the benefits of such a superb location is that walking at lunch time is a pleasure albeit a cold one until this week!  Today I remembered to take in my camera and took a couple of photos,  I only scratched the surface of all there is to see but over the coming weeks I aim to take more!

We both enjoyed our trip to Edinburgh in December 08 so much we decided to go again yesterday.  Once again the cheap flights on Ryanair made it a bargain  We were up bright and early although I was less than bright as a streaming cold had crept up on me during the night!  Our flight out was bang on time and by 10am we were on our way into the town centre.  Scotland were playing Italy at Murrayfield, which answered the question why were there so many people in kilts and blue wigs!

Determined not to miss the sights we didn't get to last time we headed off down the Royal Mile to Holyrood and the Scottish Parliament building.  Not so many people around and the mild weather made for a very pleasant walk.  Lunch was calling as we walked back up the Royal Mile and found somewhere to eat.  After lunch it was across the bridge to Princes Street and an afternoon of window shopping, could have spent loads of money but for once kept my credit card firmly in my bag, think maybe I was a feeling a little off colour with the cold!!

All too soon it was back on the bus to the airport and a bit of a traffic jam around Murrayfield.  Back at the airport I did hit world duty free for some essential make up and treated Phil to some of his favourite whisky.  Time for a drink and a sandwich and then back on the plane which again was boarded and ready to go on time.  We arrived home, tired but happy so it was a coffee and for me some paracetamol and off to bed.
