Edinburgh is freezing, overcrowded but beautiful, even in the rain. Why are we here? Well, we’ve come to listen to some music, meet up with old friends from Canada and say hello to Damian’s sister and her chickens. We will then be driving down to North Yorkshire for a few days to join a few dots.

Scarborough is a surprise! Grand hotels, a castle, donkey rides, a funicular, fish and chips on the seafront, amusement arcades and a miniature railway – everything you need for a seaside holiday and today the sun is trying to shine.
