Photos from the past few weeks

Okay, so I've been really lax on the photos posting front, so here are a few to make up.



In no particular order...

Outside a cigar shop on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh

Apparently there was a building collapse at Paisley Close way back when, one of the survivors heard rescuers moving rubble and called out "Heave away chaps, I'm no deid yet" which is the less Anglicised version of the inscription.

John Knox's house



A piper at the top of the Royal Mile

Outside Harvey Nichols (window-shopping heaven)

This is the now empty building in which I used to work. I liked the fact that they'd filled the windows with quotations about Edinburgh.

The bands marching down from the Castle at the end of the final Tattoo performance.

Eve and Chad watching the bands marching down from the Castle (well Eve watching the bands and Chad being distracted!)

The Castle in all its glory

A boy genius playing violin (he was exceptional!) surveying the crowds of craziness on the Royal Mile.

The Scott Monument and Princes St Gardens

Ledbury (a lovely market town near us)

A B&W house in Ledbury

Bzzzzz, bzzzzzz

Back to Edinburgh!!

The Guardians of the Gents - in the pub, beside the gents loo - phewee smells like wee...

The boys enjoying a pint

In the Antiquary - in matching jumpers. It wasn't intentional!

Me with Joan, Matthew and Yvonne

Eve, Chad and Dad

Back home!

At the close BBQ - Louise gets a soaking!

But it was in retaliation for the first shot - under the table, which made it look like Stephen had had an "accident"!!
