Well, actually silver, since the All Blacks played in their alternate strip against Scotland in Edinburgh. This blog entry is being written in the aftermath of New Zealand's early dismissal from the World Cup. In the interests of not rekindling anyone's pain, rugby will be mentioned no further in this post.
Lots of friends came to Edinburgh from all over the UK and beyond for the game, in fact the vast majority of kiwis that I know in the UK were here. Andrew Macklan and Mark Mayo stayed with us for the weekend, and we also caught up with (hope I haven't forgotten anyone): Tim and his mate Cocksy, Mike and Heather, Eyk and Tim, JP and Bernie, and Cynthia. Also Ed and Abbie, who have just moved to Edinburgh and happened to arrive that weekend! Some of these people are in the fuzzy photo below, taken at an Indian restaurant where we had a good discussion with the owner on the footpath outside the restaurant over the bill.

Here are some more photos of some other dodgy characters.
We all had a great weekend and it was fun to catch up with so many friends at once. Mark and Andrew particularly enjoyed spooning on our lounge floor.

That is a fantastic photo of Eyk. Can we maybe see a cropped, blown up version?
