"The Festival Café is over, but there is much more to be enjoyed at Café headquarters as today was the first of two Book Café specials, live from the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Emma and I had the task of flyering outside the venue - not much fun in the rain, but people seemed to enjoy the Radio Scotland bookmarks (totally free, totally useful!). I managed to persuade one gentleman leaving the venue to turn around and go back in. Marketing score. The tent we were based in is a big departure from the EICC, but the buzz at the festival was comparable; school trips milled around getting ice cream despite the weather, and strolling round the square was a very chilled experience under the canopies. The festival has its own Speigeltent called 'Moulin Rouge' offering - wait for it - MUFFINS, which I declined because I have overdosed on baked goods over the past two weeks. This is my last broadcast on location, as I will unfortunately be back to my usual un-showbiz life next Monday, but you can look forward to Alexander McCall-Smith on the next show live from Charlotte Square on the 30th."
