Sunday 12th August 2018 It was here. Our day off had arrived. And boy was I glad not to be flyering on this wet and gloomy Sunday. Even the usually wildly vocal seagulls had decided to have a lie in and avoid the vicious downpour. Fiona headed out first for a day of bookish fun. … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 12
Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 11
Saturday 11th August 2018 Amazingly, given the fact that half the Greyhounds stayed up partying and singing Hey Mr Miller in the local takeaway until the small hours the night before, we actually managed to get out of bed on Saturday morning and have a somewhat productive day. I even met a friend for some … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 11

Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 10
Friday 10th August 2018 Friday dawned bright and clear. Possibly. We've been here for so long that we've lost all track of the concept of time and each day goes in a second, but also takes an eternity, and we can't remember one from the next. However, I do remember this... We split off into … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 10
Reviews from the Home Front – The House of Edgar
A bleak Thursday night (it was drizzling a bit) nearing midnight (10pm) and we waited outside an old church (lit with bright green lights and manned by some friendly Fringe staff, but shhh) to see Argosy Arts Theatre's The House of Edgar. The atmopshere was tense and palpable, sort of, but we were most definitely … Continue reading Reviews from the Home Front – The House of Edgar

Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 7
Tuesday 7th August 2018 Gosh, it was a real struggle to remember the date. Being at the Fringe is like living in a lovely bubble where days of the week don't exist and time seems to be fluid as we try to cram as much as we can into each day. The day started with … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 7
Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 4
Saturday 4th August 2018 Saturday started in fine fashion; a civilised pot of tea over excited discussion about our opening night. With the lovely reception we received under our belts, we decided we must build upon the momentum. We began to devise a plan for the day to maximise our efforts. We would split up … Continue reading Letters from the Home Front – Edinburgh Diary Day 4
