Escaping in Edinburgh

Yesterday the five of us had a day in Edinburgh which started with an adventure - we were locked in the Da Vinci room at Escape and had to find the Holy Grail as well as a key to get out! It was great fun - we had to search the room for clues, using codes and solving puzzles. Everybody was able to contribute and we triumphed in only 49 minutes and 30 seconds! James then bought the boys some shirts in the Tyrwhitts sale. We also went into a shop called Anta which had gorgeous Scottish fabrics as well as lamps and crockery. James and I were rather taken with a lamp decorated with thistles that we thought would look just right in our newly decorated lounge. Alasdair was less impressed especially by the price. He is very thrifty. The very posh sales assistant commented that they had taken delivery of the lamp only ten minutes before we arrived, to which Alasdair commented loudly to me, "They must have seen you coming!" I didn't know where to look! We bought it anyway and I think it looks splendid in the lounge! We then had lunch in The Gourmet Burger Bar before going back to Jamie's flat for a coffee. What a pleasant day we had!
