The Jam HouseEdinburgh
After several visits to Edinburgh Jam House I thought I would attempt a review. I have been lucky enough to attend ?Jam House? twice in the last 6mths. Since I live in Edinburgh I find myself trying different places from time to time, so rest assured I can happily compare this venue to many others within the city. This review is based on a visit that I made on the 11th April 2009. We were in a group of 7.
Location
Set in a prime location on Queen Street, the jam house is only a 10 minute walk from the city centre. Taxi?s are always nearby so you would have to wait long if that?s your preferred method of transport. In Edinburgh we are lucky enough to have 24hr bus service which runs from Waverly Bridge, this is a 10 minute walk when sober so add another 10 at the end of the night. If you able to ...
Advantages: Lots to see and do, the city contains some stunning buildings Disadvantages: The roadworks, the tramworks, the bagpipes!
Town is just as interesting historically, but visually is very different. One goes from the claustrophobia of the Old Town ? with buildings packed closely together, with the sixteenth century equivalent of high rise flats in the shadow of the castle, to the light and spacious grandeur of the New Town and its quite stunning Georgian architecture.
Edinburgh Castle is no doubt the city?s most famous landmark and while there is no doubt it looks very imposing, it certainly isn?t the most impressive castle I have ever seen. I don?t mean to sound churlish ? and I finally visited the castle not long after moving here ? but compared to the sheer size of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland for instance, Edinburgh Castle looks a little bit wimpish.
Having said that, Bamburgh Castle doesn?t house any Crown Jewels, and as far as I am aware doesn ...

Advantages: excellent price, comes with furniture and doll's, good quality for what you pay! Disadvantages: tiny hinges make assembly a bit faffy.
Last year my daughter joined a new nursery and fell in love with the wooden dolls house they had. Deciding this would be a perfect Christmas present, I started having a look around.
My first port of call was my old trusty, ELC. They do stock a beautiful doll's house, unfortunately it's £100 price tag was really pushing my budget, especially because the doll's and furniture weren't included and had to be bought in sets ranging from £15-£25. My quick calculations priced the total cost of the doll's house, a set of doll's and the bare minimum amount of furniture to be bordering on £200.
I then saw an advert on TV for a Christmas catalogue with a doll's house for just £39.99. I looked it up on the website, and was impressed with how it looked. What swung it for me in the end was that it also included a set of 4 doll's AND 5 sets ...
