Hi to you all. I am pleased to say that the Edinburgh Festival has got of to a good start this year.
I hope to get into Edinburgh when even possible during the festival and shall report back to you all.
The Street Parade of all the Festival and tattoo Performers was yesterday along Princes Street in Edinburgh. We did not attend this as we felt it would be just to big an event for Andrew.
The following link shall take you to a report of the Parade.

We did manage to get into Edinburgh this afternoon to look at some of the street performers. These are the shows we like to watch. As we took a walk in Princes Street gardans we came over a group of young lads from Brazil who are called Capoeira Knights ; Warriors of brazil. To say these young lads are fit is wrong they are super super fit. They are playing music and doing Fitness exercises that no normal person would even consider doing. Please note there show at St George`s West Shandwick Place Edinburgh is a complete sell out. So the young lads have decided to put on Street shows during the day then they are perfroming in the evenings.
I hope the following photos will show just how fit these young lads are.
Two of the lads playing the musical instuments.
All the young lads that were out this afternoon.
Ok now for exercise time.
How to get rid of your sore back.
I hope the next set show just dangerous an act these young lads are putting. Please take the following into account Grass which was damp and bare feet. The photos are slightly blurred due to the speed of these young lads in action.
But the Festival would not be the same without the Pipes and Drums Ok the pipes and drummer.
Two School lads earning some extra money to help towards equipment. And this also allows them to get in more practices for Championship events.
I am not sure when we are going back into Edinburgh but when we do I shall report back on more shows.
