Much as I love living up here near Inverness with it's bright blue skies, permanent sunshine and AWESOME mountain biking terrain, I can't help but feel a pang of resentment that the world of magic stops on a line between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
With a potential three hour journey to contend with I find myself looking around for potential meeting spots for likeminded nerdy individuals.
Are there ANY places in this Northern Wilderness for magic-geeks to meet up and compare notes and ideas? There must be someone out there....
****WARNING FOR THOSE THINKING OF LIVING THIS FAR NORTH*****
I went onto the good old interweb last week to order a couple of bags of Qualtex type balloons as I had a couple of kid's parties looming. For a bag of balloons was a great price of about £3.95 with about £1.50 postage. However, on putting in my post-code the cheeky machine decided I was so far out in the wilderness it would need the total price of £16.50 postage to reach this far north!
