Well, I'm at Edinburgh - which is nice...We had great fun,meeting up with ship people, wibsite people and scm people. Spending several hours waiting to start off marching, then another couple of hours marching, and then some time sitting down and chatting - all great fun!

Highlights of the day - taking part in such an amazing experience, getting the train at 8 am and seeing this sea of white t-shirts coming from York and knowing that so many people on that train were campaigning for the same cause - so many different people, families, older people, students, young couples, tiny kids wearing white bands and "make poverty history" t-shirts - it was a fantastic experience.

The other (slightly silly) highlight of the day was collecting Bishops. After seeing one bloke in a purple top, I wondered where he was bishop off, and so I asked him :D I then saw another bishop who wrote "make poverty history" on his dog collar - which was brilliant.

I'm now at someone from SCM's house, staying there tonight and then going off to "people and planet" for the rest of the week - should be great fun :D
