It's been awhile since we updated this blog - mainly because we've had a our heads down working - but we finally got away this weekend so we have something to write about! The coach company i'm working for is doing trips to the Edinburgh Tattoo every weekend in August, so we thought we'd tag along with the nannas and see what the Tattoo's like in reality.

After the concert we got a skin full of booze at a pub which Kerry's friend works at, who had promised us a night of free drinks if we came to the bar she works at. After getting suitably sloshed on English beer, we went back to a fancy ho...
