I had to walk along to Tesco the other day to buy some milk and as it was a really lovely bright evening I decided to take the scenic route home along the esplanade. I had been painting walls all day so I really needed to get the smell of emulsion paint out of my lungs. This is the view of Edinburgh from the esplanade.

Arthur’s Seat was clearly in view, which isn’t always the way of it and if you look at the photo below it’s the darkest, tallest hill towards the right hand side. We still haven’t climbed it yet but plan to before the winter closes in on us. We’ve still to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia too, I didn’t fancy going around it during festival time because it’s bound to be really busy then.

It’s not too bad looking I suppose but if you want to see some really lovely images take a look at Duncan’s photos on doctorvee. He stopped off at the Lake District recently on his way to the south of England. I haven’t been there for years but his photos make me think that I’ve been missing something. I think I’ll be adding the Lake District to our list of places to visit and re-visit!
