Hello How is everyone?

I'm great, am in Edinburgh Scotland at the moment with the family i work for. We're staying with the dad's parents. It is such a beautiful city, last week we climbed up a few hills around the town and had the most amazing views, We also visited a Castle called Dirleton Castle which is all in ruins but still is amazingly stunning.

Yesterday and today Sam and I took the children on an open bus tour around the city and to Edinburgh Castle, Britannia Yacht and to holyroodhouse Palace which is where the Queen stays when she is in town. So that has been awesome. The Most stunning sights of the insides of these places you are not aloud to take photos so you'll have to come and see that for yourselves.

We're going back to London on Thursday (a 10hr car ride!) and we have 2 days there before we go to Belgium to Visit Sam's parents, this might sound all sweet and lovely and mostly it is, but it so completely tiring i just want to have a sleep in.

Lovely to hear from you Aunty Shirley say hello to the kids and Trevor for me.

Catch you all later

Love Kate

Hello again

Sorry its been so long, I've been a little busy.

Not really sure where to start so much has been happening.

Work is going well, we've had lots of visitor's staying lately, Sam's parents have been and not some of her friends from France are here, Sam studied in France for a while and specks French so its interesting listening to them.

On Tuesday when Sam's Parents were here (Oma and Opa) we went into town and watched the changing of the horse guards, and went through the Household Cavalry Museum that was pretty neat, it had all the old war uniforms and stories, lots of the instruments that are played in the band some beautiful drums and you could see where the horses that worked as horse guards lived in the stables.

On Wednesday i took the kids down to go on the Greenwich Eye (like the London eye only smaller) that was a pretty awesome view.

I had another Kick boxing lesson on Thursday night, was really good, didn't even feel sore after this one. Thankfully because i had a golf lesson on Saturday morning and its very hard to swing a club with sore shoulders.

This weekend is the Red Bull Air Race, Its where some of the worlds best stunt pilots fly at high speed just above the river through air gates. have just been down watching it, IT IS AMAZING.

Well need to catch up on some sleep now

have a good week

Love Kate
