Apparently Angel, Chip and Chuck were diverted into the Museum of Childhood by Sophie and Chels while the rest of the kitties shopped for birthday presents for Friday's big party.
Then they went round a couple of art galleries on their way down to Princes Street Gardens. Groucho wanted to see the Floral Clock that his meowmie had told him about, so they had arranged for caterers from a local delicatessen to serve a fabulous picnic in the gardens. Are these kitties good to themselves or what???
I understand that after suitably refreshing themselves, they headed back up to the Castle esplanade for tonight's tattoo. I told Jessica to make sure little Chip and Chuck were well back and couldn't run onto the parade ground for ... any reason.
Goodness knows what they have in store for tomorrow.
Sounds like my kids are having a grand time. I thank all the bigger kits for watching after them.
Winnie, Chester, Grandma and I are busy getting ready for the party. Chester has been having fun with the helium balloons. You should hear how funny he sounds. :D
We will have lots of goodies and treats and fun. The kits are more than welcome to spend the weekend or however long they want to stay. My kits can show them our fort. I think our heat wave is to break Friday so it won't be so awfully hot for an outdoor outing should they want to see it. :love:
Got a message from Groucho a short while ago. He said Edinburgh Castle is awesome! The kitties took a guided tour and they agreed the big hall would be the purrfect place for one of their parties. The guide let them try on the armor and they had a blast pretending to be knights. The climb up to one of the turrets was a workout but he said the view was well worth the effort. A few of them went up Walter Scott's Monument and were very impressed with the size of Prince's Park. The kitties relaxed by the floral clock and enjoyed a traditional Scottish feast, the haggis was a huge hit! After all their walking and climbing they were happy to have time for a nap by the floral clock before going to the Tattoo.
Several kitties found kitty collars with their clan tartan at one of the tartan shops along the Royal Mile. Sydney, Ming, and Bob have decided to take bagpipe lessons! All the kitties were surprised to learn that in Scotland only the men wear kilts. Groucho said the Killearn lassies are excellent tour guides and tomorrow they all will take a ride on a double decker bus for a tour of Edinburgh.
So where are Merlin and Sparkler???? :confused:
From the Princess:
The tartan collars are sooooo cute - Sophie and I got ours to match except mine has rhinestones and hers has pearls.
Today we're going to visit Nessie at Loch Ness (the Killearn kitties swear they know her) and have a sunset dinner cruise around the lake. I heard something about creamed herring.....
Tell MOFF the boys are being sorta good....

Oh, Oh, Should I be worried? Maybe I should check and see what sort of damage my insurance covers in other countries! :eek::love:Quote:

A priority message was sent to Groucho and Pinot to be sure and meet up with Fister. Does Fister have his cell phone with him? Pinot responded saying they need to know where and when to meet Fister. Then Pinot mumbled something about stopping at one of those ultra-yummy bakeries along the way.Quote:

He is also looking forward to try haggis, and he asked me: "Do you think they serve it raw"? I said, they might, but please don't bring any back!
Got home yesterday to a message from Merlin but I couldn't understand it. His Scottish brogue was so strong. All I could decipher was "bagpipes" and "white dress" :confused::eek:
From the Catberry Mobile...
"Got Fister, he's fine, slept on the way. Late night flight tonight for all to Kansas. Merlin & Sparkler fine. Party continues! :love:Pinot"
Our special bus driver will be waitng to bring them all from the air port to my house. The big kids are in overdrive decorating and helping get things ready! We are all so excited. :love:Quote:
