Once again it has been awhile since I have blogged. Teaching can be a very demanding mistress. When last we adventured, we had just returned from a beautiful week in Cyprus and much!!!! has occurred since then. We spent three days in London on our return and did after holiday shopping. London at Christmas was amazing, but by far the best story was the carnival in Leiceister Square. It is one of our favorite places in the city and we found the carnival by mistake. Monique and I went on some of the rides and of course Monique played some of the cheesy games, but you can never win at those WRONG!!! She won a six foot white tiger. See the picture of her bringing it back on the Tube, it was a riot. Everyone in London was staring. Priceless. We got back on the 30th to Mussey and the next day was Hogemany (new year's eve) This is a major event in Edinburgh and over 140,000 people took part. Brian bought us tickets to the Princes street gardens and we got to Cailih (scottish dancing) all night long. At midnight they send off fireworks from all seven hills and the castle. Tremendous. Then we had the largest mass singing of Auld Lang Syne which is a song of Scottish origin. It was one of the top nights that we have had thus far. Enjoyed it immensely. I will try to catch up over the next couple of weeks.
Cheers
