Woohoo 🥳 

If you go on my facebook I’ve posted loads of fringe pix over the years you need to visit Edinburgh off peak to get the feel of the place before doing a festival as you hit the ground running instead of fullstop

Sitting in any of the hubs Pleasance Bristo/Teviot George Square gardens has to be part of the itinerary between shows as I have spoken to many a performer flyering or star spotted in the wild 

Also make time to view the street performers on the Royal Mile and The Mound

top tip when the Tattoo is on perch in prime pole position by Ensign Ewart (my local as a student in halls next door) and watch all the performers going onto the Esplanade and ditto at 10pm ish as all the pipes drums kilts etc all march out down to their coaches 

Absolutely it’s £££ but I lost a pal since primary school at 58 and my daughters uncle in law at 58 within 7 days this month so only 4 nights due to budget but 15 shows and a chill day on a boat with my daughter #memories

My 40th anniversary of first fringe at uni and my daughter is moving out again to uni so doing our now traditional ninja preview trip 

I realised that Edinburgh crosswords contained names of upcoming Edinburgh shows!
