After arriving in Edinburgh, (after the good old Heathrow airport night party) a glorious reunion with Claire, and experiencing the pre Edinburgh Festival madness, I decided I wasn't wanting to be in the big city. I am now in Melrose, a little town on the Scottish border, living and working in a little Scottish hotel. (It's called Burts hotel, www.burtshotel.co.uk if you wanna have a gazza) It will be an interesting experience where I actually can't spend money, yay, and am thinking bout learning spanish as the hours are cruisey and I get a couple days off to commute to the Edinburgh festivities. The people are lovely, I went to the local last night after my first day at work, (I arived at 10.54 pm, they shut at 11! I had previously served the owner that night so I got a free drink yay) and hung out with people that are leaving, which is unfortunate as the friend pickings are slim in a town where the normal age of Melrose is over 60. I plan to do many day trips, join the library, (there is even a theatre/movie house here!) and pretty much save up money. I will be in touch and let you know how my sanity levels are, but it should be a laugh : )
