Sunday night and now that the Open Golf has finished I might be able to get on with other things. Well done to the winner, Louis Oosthuizen, who led from the start and proved to be a run away winner with no one getting anywhere near him. For those who had faith in him and put a bet on before the Competition, they will be laughing all the way to the bank, and he is made for life. Lee Westwood also did well to get back into the big money
Busy weekend in The Mercat Bar, and despite being off on Saturday I ended up helping and had a bit of banter with the groups who who were in for breakfast.From the Mecat it was onto Princes Street where Edinburgh Castle was looking splendid.
Took ourselves into the Standing Order where le vin rouge was the order of the day and had a good blether to a couple of the older clients, reminiscing about "Honest John" the "Flying Conductor" - who for many years, as a hobby, bought himself seats on the inaugural flights of aircraft around the world, and in his later years was sent tickets by the airlines as gifts.

We headed off to the Balmoral Hotel where we were booked in for High Tea, which was part of our X-mas gift. Tea, pink Bollinger Champagne, neat sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and strawberry tarts - eaten to the strains of music played by the resident harpist. All very civilised and the place was busy too.
