Dazzled by @marcusbrig at the Edinburgh Festival last night. Love him on @BBCRadio4 but never seen him live before.

Saw @MitchBenn at the Edinburgh Festival. Sharp, funny, witty and warm - brilliant, quick fire satire and great singing!

Got back from Ladakh and Sanskar - trekking amazing - saw blue Himalayan poppies. The Moghuls would have loved it.

[Alex Rutherford @alexmrutherford]

Saw @SharronMatthews at the Edinburgh Festival last night - fun, feisty and slightly scary - glad she didn't pick on me.

[Alex Rutherford @alexmrutherford]

Just saw The #Inbetweeners - thought I'd be disappointed but absolutely loved it.

[Alex Rutherford @alexmrutherford]

Off to Edinburgh Festival in three days time - panicking about finishing a travel article about India before I go ... so back to work ...
