We arrived at our lodgings for Ben and Andrea’s wedding safely late last night. Ben and Andrea met us at our B&B in Edinburgh and we went to rent my car just down the street. It was my first time driving in the UK and Ben rented a manual 6-speed Fiat for me to drive. Leaving the car rental we picked up Andrea’s little sister and boyfriend and then went to the airport to get Andrea’s parents and other little sister. Following Ben the airport was hectic. I hit at least two curbs, ran a red light (they’re super short yellow lights), and cut someone off in a roundabout while learning to shift with my left hand and drive of the left side of the road. Oh, and it was dark, pouring rain, and gusting wind. It sure was fun though!
Glad you guys are safe and having fun! Your driving there doesn’t sound any different than your driving here….

Hi, I’m Charlie Burdle. I stayed in that house not long ago.
It was me and my family, we stayed there for my Uncle’s 40th Birthday. It was brilliant. The massive house was perfect for us. But we realised the scary things that would happen in that house. I don’t know if you experienced them too, but for 4 nights in a row, I’d wake up with constant breathing in my ear and severe bruising to my body. I stayed in the room at the top named ‘Badger’ I think. It was only me in that room, and I had to stay with my mother in the end, as I felt like someone was watching me. A few days after the night of constant breathing, the rest of my family went to walk the gorgeous walled garden and the rest of the 250 acred land. Unfortunately for me, I slept in and wished I hadn’t. It was me only, in the beautiful mansion. I got up and a door slammed shut opposite me, petrified, I ran down the spiralled staircases leading to the second floor, I stopped and heard someone running down behind me and whispers. As I got to the ground, the rattle on the staircase stopped and I found it hard to breath.
