Portobello Sunset 26 July 2018
Red sky at night, sailors’ delight (whatever that means).
Rhymes aside, nature is beautiful, There is something magical about such a sunset, we always take time to appreciate it. 
It’s been 27° in Edinburgh, the weather is broken can someone turn it off and on again.

Ross Fountain
The restoration of the beautiful Ross Fountain is now complete! Water flows freely for the first time in eight years. Now sporting its new colour of a bluish-green and copper moving away from it’s all gold colour, paying homage to its sister fountain of Fontaines de la Concorde in Paris.
Ross Fountain was produced at the iron foundry of Antoine Durenne in Sommevoire, France, standing at it’s current position in West Princes street gardens since 1872
Happy to see it fully working again

Stockbridge duck race 2018
The 29th annual Stockbridge duck race! Hundreds of wee rubber duckies racing down the water of Leith. (All done for charity).
I like to pretend that the ducks are alive and super competitive racing hard to the end. 😃
Photos aren’t that great, as the wall of the bridge is high and I’m wee 😉

Edinburgh Castle Summer Sun
Another beautiful day out, and Jings it’s warm!
Edinburgh has a lot of green open space. Princes street Gardens, I also was sitting under a tree in the shadow of the castle, watching the world go by, it’s a very popular place and It’s awfy Bonny.
But it Wouldn’t have always been like this, up until the 19th century this was the castles northern-defence – aka the Nor’ Loch, and by all accounts a disgusting cesspool – it was polluted with wastage and where the guilty(?) were punished.
Portobello Edinburgh Summer Night
