Well, here we are! We've been in our new flat for three weeks now and we FINALLY have the internet, so I can catch up with you guys 
The move up here was very stressfull, especially as I submitted my thesis two days after DH came up here with half of our stuff and 4 days before DBestFriend and I drove the rest of our stuff up. The day after I arrived I was utterly wiped out, and it took me a week to recover!
Our flat is a pretty typical Edinburgh flat - high ceilings, good sized rooms, nice plasterwork and fireplace (doesn't work, unfortunately) and its well decorated and fitted. The location is very central, you can see the castle if you come out of our front door. However, there's not much in the way of community right around here. It seems to be mainly populated by young professionals, migrant workers, actors and students. It makes for a very interesting area, fantastic food shops and great looking restaurants, but not much in the way of other young families. However, DD and I are starting to check out the swings, toddler groups etc, so hopefully things will emerge!
I'm slowly catching up with all the things that have been happening around here. Honey, JJ - fantastic news on the jobs!
Now all that I have to do is unpack the boxes . . .

I have a little gas fire with coals and real flames, so it's the next best thing. Don't need it really, as we have central heating, but there is nothing like a fire for cosiness.
