Pause: The Weekend Before Starting Work at The Shed

So much has happened in a week. Wifi connection in the flat in Dingwall is hit-and-miss, making posting on the blog a bit challenging. Here are some updates...

Saturday, June 15th: mini-reunion

MSU Dance alumnae Lauren Clark and Nicole Meyer were in Edinburgh, as was NYC friend Joanna Brotman. We met for a stroll and a pub lunch - and photos!

Lauren has finished her second year of the Arcadia University Physical Therapy program, and is doing an internship at Bart's Hospital, London; she and a friend decided to take a weekend excursion to Edinburgh. Nicole was traveling throughout Great Britain with a friend before going to Paris (for a day!).

Joanna is in Edinburgh for a three-week Laban course. She'll have a few days with her daughter to travel around Scotland before heading back to New York.

Sunday, June 16th

In the morning, Susie and Margaret (and Archie and Alan) set out for the Race for Life 5K.

We drove into town, dropped Susie and Margaret off at the race site, then back to Waverly Station. I met Chris Devaney for lunch at the National Gallery of Scotland's restaurant (delicious!) in Princes Street Gardens, to catch up and discuss her part of the Here, There and Everywhere project. On the way back to the train station, we saw this bit of "flora":
Someone lost ...
... a wig!

Then, Bill and I took the train to Dingwall. Beautiful scenery, and some "local flavo(u)r" in the form of a group of young men returning to Inverness from a rather long stag party in Newcastle (no pictures of them here...)
Crossing the Forth Bridge


Sheep...everywhere...of course...

We arrived at Dingwall in time for dinner, got set up in the flat and had a really good rest, to be ready for another intensive - and intense - week of work. More in a bit...
