1st January 2012 - Edinburgh day 3

Feeling rather ahem...tired after the previous night, we woke up and went for lunch at Jane's house, seeing my cousin for the first time in a long while and meeting the rest of the extended family. A lovely buffet lunch surrounded by excitement and remaining remnants of Christmas and new year celebrations led to the ultimate entertainment - an attempt at just dance on the wii! J refused however, probably not yet ready to unleash his moves so early in the afternoon!
After lunch, we walked Fergus along the Edinburgh beaches, greatly appreciating my warm gloves and scarf as the bitter wind blew against us as we walked towards the dunes.
A great surprise awaited us about halfway - a group of 3 beach goers heading straight into the 5 degree sea! Some had even taken the Scottish tradition of the Loony Duk even further and were skinny dipping!
As the sun began to set, we watched from the top of the dunes. Soon however the wind became too strong and we drove home, our Edinburgh trip coming to a close. After a delicious homemade dinner, and watching the new series of Sherlock -( no one does tv like the English!) went to sleep for the last night in Edinburgh.
