I'm now on the final leg of my journey from Fmukcon in Edinburgh. What a lovely day we all had! Great to meet so many Fmukers all in the one place! Great to meet so many folk for the first time . . .and I now have faces to put with names. A big thank you to pxc for making the arrangements for us. All survived the Ghost Walk!

A brilliant day! The weather was kind! Lovely to meet you all. Thank you all for coming, so glad you could make it! Many thanks to Diane65 for a really enjoyable sightseeing tour of Edinburgh.
Yes, we survived the Auld Reekie Ghost Tour.

We also had a amazing day at North Berwick yesterday, even the dolphins came out to play and surrounded our boat! Thank you MrGlass for organising such a lovely side trip again!

A fabulous weekend thanks to everyone who was able to join us on the day. A massive thanks to prettyxcool for organising the meet up at The Advocate and for the free Yo Sushi meal and also to MrGlass for a lovely day in North Berwick - I wasn't exactly saying that when he had the famous 5 (our new name himself, prettyxcool plus OH, Steve and myself) climbing up Berwick Law and to Steve for helping me on the slippery bits (I was assured it was a little hill hence had a knee length coat, a handbag and regular Timberland boots on. My bag kept on getting stuck on the rocks plus had to tuck my coat into my jeans not an attractive look.
Thanks to akh43 for being such a good room mate.
I will post more of our adventures when I get home as we did so much.

Pleased to hear everyone enjoyed their time up here in Scotland. What a great time you had on the boat in North Berwick as you were extremely lucky to see dolphins.

Hope you all got home safely and no nightmares after doing the Ghost Tour of Edinburgh.

Lovely to meet you all at the Advocate pub and thanks to prettyxcool for arranging it.
