Independence day, not

What comes to your mind when the 4th of July rolls around? Independence Day in the US accompanied by fireworks, I'm sure. But that's not what I'm talking about. The 4th of July is more than that to one of my friends in particular. It is none other than the day she was born!

So, to mark that day, those of us who could make it decided to meet for a meal at Iglu on Jamaica St in Edinburgh. Karen's choice. In fact, I wasn't even sure what we would be doing until I finished work on the day and got her text. HS kindly gave me a lift to Edinburgh and we found the place with the help of Googlemap on my trusty Tocco! :P
