Reaching Durham in the rain on Monday arvo we checked the weather forecast for the Lake District. With Victoria's meterological expertise and an hour by hour forecast we found the entire week to be described by RAIN!

Making the decision to stay at the Radford's place instead we embarked on a week of Harry Potter obsession.
Priviledged to be staying with 2 extras of the cast :P (Sandy and his sister) we watched HP1 - freeze framing on the scenes of our star performers ;) - and visited filming sites of Durham cathedral and Alnwick castle, where we even went on a Harry Spotter tour! :P
Included in our trip was a visit to Newcastle art galleries, salsa dancing, and even watching X-men III - which was good on the action, but a bit overwhelming on the cheese (for me at any rate).

Since being back in Edinburgh much packing, cleaning and preparing to leave has been pursued... I leave on Tuesday!! How exciting! This time next week I'll be in Munich!
