What a great day Evee and I had for our first ever get together in Edinburgh, a blue sky and shiny bright sunshine – what more can you ask for! Well I suppose we could have done with out that wind which cuts through your bones – but it would hardly be Edinburgh without that.
I think Evee looks great in this one I took with Edinburgh Castle in the background. It’s nothing to do with my photography ability I can assure you and I know that in the photo she took of me I will look like a complete dingbat, because I always do in photos, and that will be no slur on Evee’s photography abilities!
The only thing missing was all the other bloggers and commentors and yes – even you lurkers, you know who you are! Mind you we would have needed more than one day for us all to get to know one another, and that transporter from Star Trek, if not Samantha’s nose from Bewitched.
The photo below was taken from the top of Nelson’s Monument on Calton Hill. On the left you can see Holyrood Palace, it’s that building with all the spires and turrets like a fairy tale castle. The Scottish Parliament building is in there too, in the middle rear, with Dynamic Earth the white spiky one at the right. We still haven’t found time to walk up Arthur’s Seat, the hill in the background.
I took the one below from Calton Hill too and it’s of Waterloo Place with Princes Street beyond and Edinburgh Castle in the background.
We both took loads of photos but it’s a short blogpost tonight because all that rushing about early in the morning and walking around Auld Reekie has tired me out so these are just a couple of wee tasters to be getting on with. More soon.
What a gloriously beautiful day you had!
Peggy,
I’d rather have it cold and bright than warm and grey, anyday!
It was a great day, wasn’t it? I really enjoyed it but have to say my hip’s a bit wrecked today!!! Not that it’s tooooo bad, but I do feel it! We must have walked miles!!! Well, about two? Let’s do it again soon! Take care.
Evee,
Yes I really enjoyed it. Shame about your hip, maybe you should resort to Deep Heat or what was that stuff called – Wintergreen or something?! I hope you had a good time with the choir. Yes, I’m up for another day out sometime!
Great photos and sounds like you had a lovely day, look forward to seeing more about your meet up. Bit too far for me to pop up and visit for some tea and shortbread!
Jo,
I know, it is a long journey, but maybe you’ll want to go to the book festival one year. I’m so disappointed that we still don’t have the ability to travel at the click of a finger. I’m told it’ll never be possible but I live in hope!
