Edinburgh

Hi all.

Greetings from Edinburgh.  I am here today with my work colleagues promoting our latest Lightwriter product, the Lightwriter Swift.
I arrived last night by plane and was whisked by taxi to our hotel on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.  It seems that I always have fleeting visits to this beautiful city and never really have a chance to look around properly.  My last visit was about 12 years ago with my family.  A friend of ours let us stay in her flat which was on the 5th floor actually on the Royal Mile at the end of August.  A perfect time to be in Edinburgh what with the final happenings of the festival that year.  In the flat when we opened the windows we could hear the plethora of live music and events happening across the city.  A very exciting time.......
However we only lasted a couple of days (should have been a week) as both our kids contracted chicken pox and we had to leave early.  A great opportunity poorly executed!

Last night I made sure that I got to see some of this great city and visited the castle.  Wow, it is massive and very impressive even at night.  On the way up to it we came across lots of people who were conducting ghost tours, however I didn't see any ghosts!

Today, I have been working at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, a wonderful venue with wonderfully friendly and helpful staff.
We had some great customers who came to find out more about our new product.  It is wonderful to work in a job where you know there is a direct clear benefit for people who use your products.  We all take communication for granted, but when we have it taken from us or we never had it at all then this is a serious disability which unfortunately is not taken overly seriously by our friends in government, leading to poor provision in places across the UK.
I am really impressed by the commitment of the Speech and Language Therapists who work to change the lives of so many people in the UK in order to achieve a positive result.  I am even more impressed by those that do not let their disability affect them negatively.  There is a lesson for all in there somewhere.

Well I have to go and give our last seminar for the day, if you are in Edinburgh and have an interest in what Toby Churchill Ltd then it is not too late to find us Venue – Edinburgh Corn Exchange, 11 New Market Road, Edinburgh, EH14 1RJ - We are hear until 8pm!!
