On Friday night Mike had organised another night out with the whole group of Mdes students. We went to a pub situated on the beach in Portobello, a very nice area of Edinburgh by the seaside. The week after it was Mothers Day and Fiona had invited her mum to come and stay with us for a couple of days. We went to the museum and Portobello again and had lunch at the same pub. On Mothers Day itself we went to Glasgow to meet Kevin and had lunch at a really nice Italian restaurant, afterwards we   went to the cinema. The following Sunday Kevin came to ours for dinner. Eefje, who just came over from the Netherlands, came too with Astrid. Later we went to a pub. Eefje was only in town for a few days, she came because Astrid was moving back to Amsterdam and she wanted to see were she had been staying all this time, at the very last opportunity. Astrid had organised a farewell drink in a trendy bar in town. Lynsey
