Family of four, our daughters are in their twenties so do not always travel with us.
Andrew works as a teacher, managing support services for high school children.
Fiona works as a director of finance for a festival arts organisation.
We love theatre, live music and so are lucky to live in Edinburgh, as there is always lots on.
We also do a lot of walking in East Lothian, and are both keen swimmers - Andrew in the sea on our doorstep, Fiona in a warm pool.
We have a cat, Candy, happy for her to be looked after elsewhere if you prefer.
