Visiting my niece in Edinburgh in 2010 to experience a bit of art and culture at it's annual festival was definitely a chance to explore and get a taste for this event that thousands trek to every year,a hotspot for tourists and artists alike and so a great place to be,to enjoy the atmosphere and all this type of gathering has to offer.
****One of the considerations that has become a priority with being a mature woman when travelling is the availability of toilets,something that has never been a concern South Africa. A proud and patriotic citizen of this beautiful it's the first comparison I 'd make after my experience in other contries-South Africa seen as a third world yet offers it's visitors an excellent choice of well-stocked and clean toilet facilities...London for example a first world country they say but when it comes to toilet facilities,where finding a local McDonald's or Starbucks as a pitstop is pretty common place,no obvious public toilets in site,so the one activity that appears to be devoid of any class restrictions,doesn't matter which side of London tracks you come from,when you need to pee,no exceptions.******

So back to my story.....Out on a day out in Edinburgh, my niece and I happily chatted and pointed out the differences of living in a smaller town like Edinburgh -a quaint,pretty town bussling at this time of the
year with a fair amount of pitstops in place so no danger of any mishaps if the need arose. A few hours into our day out  and having enjoyed the array of street entertainers we moved on to the Grassmarket where we watched some Jazz performances on small outdoor stages....excellent atmosphere,great performers,a bit of sunshine poking through the clouds,spells of heavy rain and cold.......your typical Scotish summer's day.

My RLabs Mom's Journey

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend  people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.

Good afternoon world on a lighter note,on wednesday we took our seniors around the peninsula.Our first stop was Sea Point opposite the SABC offices. Where our seniors enjoyed a snack.thereafter we went to Hout Bay where they stretched a bit.Some of our seniors interacted with the coons.Our aunty Ellen,Vicky Jonck and Freda Davids enjoyed dancing with the coons.We then went back to Maidens Cove where we served them lunch.After lunch we served them fruit and some doughnuts and juice.We then boarded the busses at 3.05 and was taken on the beach road for some more sightseeing.when we got back to the centre,our seniors were all handed a gift before they went to their respective homes.What an awesome experience.
