So.....quietly getting on with it....as we do...you know the sort of thing...bubbling up the Cullen Skink, chasing haggis and flopping up a banoffee or three , when suddenly KAPOW right there in our Victoria Street restaurant was the lovely Derren Brown.
Derren has just been in Edinburgh and played to a rather jaw dropping 18000 people over the course of the week. Did you say 18,000? Yes I did. I know! Wowza.
Derren was taking time out from his busy Edinburgh schedule which was playing The Edinburgh Playhouse - only the biggest theatre in Europe with 4500 seats - impressive and a tad stressful I would think. If it were me I would be in a dark room chatting and inhaling lavendar and doing calming things but Derren was out and about enjoying his time in Scotlands Capital. So from 4500 seats to a mere 40 he came in to see us and he was an absolute charmer as you can see here.
Mandy our lovely smiling member of staff was apoplectic with joy as she had seen him on stage the night before and there he was larger and smilier in the flesh. She is clenched with happiness. Eventually she unclamped the poor man and let him get on with his day.
What a joy to see him and we wish him well for the rest of his tour and hope next time in town he's he'll be back to say hello!
Of course the Edinburgh film Festival is just round the corner too - so I wonder who'll be our next celebrity visitor? Maybe you?
You can follow Derren on Twitter @DerrenBrown
You can follow us too on @HowiesScotland
Anyway must away today - Sunday 12th May we are closing Howies Waterloo Place for 10 days for a complete overhaul..details to follow......Phew....it's ever dull round here......I will give full updates on how it's going and also give you details of any things that are looking for a good home -
Cheers!
