First post of the new month and I`ve been busy...walking. A week `on the road` between other people`s flats and the deep,deep disruptive snow has necessitated a lot of walking,mostly but not exclusively of the urban variety but none the worse for that.
After last week`s tramp round Aberdeen, spent Friday and Saturday walking the slushy, snowy streets of Edinburgh, up to the Castle (but not right in - too expensive!), along Princes Street (several times) and generally taking in the Christmas atmosphere.
Avalanche warnings for Arthur`s Seat so we left that for another day.
On the first evening walked along the waterfront at Granton - the combination of snow and water in the waning light quite magical.
Oh - and Frank didn`t make it....snowed out but he`s promised to re-schedule....for February?...has he seen what it was like here last February?
Still alive then? Goodie. You're the only sister I have, after all! It's all horribly disruptive but wickedly beautiful. (A bit like you really!) Keep warm. Alison XX
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely compliment - I shall treasure that.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way - or btw - you`ve no idea how exciting it is to see that someone`s posted a comment....keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't miss much in Edinburgh castle. I went in free once with a pass I got when I worked at Tolquhon. Even when I didn't have to pay I felt it was a wasted journey... All the magic of the place was gone - replaced by the same tourist shops you find along the royal mile, and a man called Nigel who was dressed as a soldier.
