Edinburgh's Princes Street West End Craft Fair began today, which meant little else to me and Laura except that we spent the whole day in town and will be doing again for the next six days.

Explored the natural history museum extensively. It is still one of my favourite places in the world, even if they have got rid of the blue whale skeleton. At least the great moa is still there, which I can't put up any pictures of because of this confounded blogger and it's difficulty with uploading lately. Ho hum... For those of you who don't know, the great moa was the largest flightless bird that ever lived, standing up to 3.9 metres tall and weighing up to 500kg. It is now extinct. It looked like a big ostrich.

Looks like it's back up to Orkney once September begins. After a brief stop-off over in York of course...
