A day in Edinburgh

 

Six reasons I like visiting Edinburgh

• The early flight from Gatwick does inevitably mean waking up at a silly hour and not sleeping properly the night before. But the first BA flight still has a hot breakfast. One of the only domestic flights with a hot meal.
• There is something something special about Edinburgh. I don’t know what. Just something. (That said, its also a bit dull and the weather can be terrible)
• You can walk places. Last night I walked to Cath O’Shea’s house and met her 8 month old baby, Ellie.
• People are very friendly
• There is no sense of irony about pointing me towards Greggs for lunch after me presenting about healthy ageing.
• Look at the sort of venues I get to speak in. Brilliant buildings.
