In the Nick of time

I'm awake (4am) so might as well add a new entry to my Blog. I'm up early as I've just said goodbye to my twin brother as he sets off back down south. Like me, he likes his early starts! Hoping of course that he has a safe drive, with no major hold-ups over the 450-mile journey from Edinburgh to West Sussex. Mum's staying on for a few extra days, which is great, and then flies back to Gatwick on Sunday. Unfortunately, I've not spent as much as time as I would like with them as I've had to work, but we've still had a few excursions and some nice meals together. And while I've been stuck at work, Mum and Nick have visited Dundee, St.Andrews, North Berwick etc, taken a trip on the train across the Forth Bridge (something I've not yet done since living up in Scotland) and also made a visit to see Concorde at East Fortune. The main purpose of their time up in Scotland this week was to see the Military Tattoo at the Castle on Tuesday evening. I'll post a separate entry about that shortly. Now going to catch up with a bit of reading etc, before heading off to work a bit later on. I think I'll go and make myself a nice cup of tea!
