I am counting the days, only two more weeks of travel to Edinburgh.  I must make the most of the time I am here.

Travel from Luton was again a pain, the place was full of people going away.  Still half term in some county or other. The weather was damp and miserable in Edinburgh.

Visited the Mussel and Steak for one of the gorgeous pieces of red meat, cooked just correctly.  I did start off with some hot smoked salmon (cold) with oat cakes.  The salmon was delicious.

Met an Australian IT consultant there, think he had emigrated to the UK because of the jobs in the Health Sector.  He had been recommended the restaurant and was very happy with it.  Somehow we got to talking about flying, and it turns out his grandmother took up gliding at the age of 80.  Fantastic.

 I asked who I think was the owner of the Mussel and Steak, how long they had been open.  I thought it must be about two years, and in fact it is two years in May.
