I just shut down my social media if it is bothering me. This is a very important point - perhaps us midlifers need to be careful with social media as well as our teens.

Seriously though, top tips; wear comfy shoes and check the distances between venues - it can be a LOT further than you think between West End and Holyrood; check the guys handing out flyers on the Royal Mile (there's a special closed road area for it) and the Half-price hut by the National Gallery for last minute special offers. If it all gets too much, head up to Charlotte Square and the Book festival for some peace, quiet and celebrity watching :)maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-52087284553936806892017-05-18T14:58:16.652+01:002017-05-18T14:58:16.652+01:00I think we all have those moments of "I wish ...I think we all have those moments of "I wish I was there" and you are right social media makes that feeling more immediate and it doesn't matter how old we get that sense of missing out is just as acute. I totally get that. I love your list of places you visit. I am from North Norfolk so glad to see it is a must do for you and the Hay festival, love that too. We are looking at going to the Edinburgh fringe for the first time this year with our youngest teen - any tips please let me know. #TweensTeensBeyondJo - Mother of Teenagershttp://www.motherofteenagers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-26781175581619342112017-05-18T10:03:55.775+01:002017-05-18T10:03:55.775+01:00Knowing how passionate you are about these acts fr...Knowing how passionate you are about these acts from your previous posts, I totally get this.
