GRANGE OVER SANDS. A Wintery Walkabout.

The days are now getting criminally short and grey, not exactly solar panel friendly. I didn’t fancy being in the house all day, watching the grim weather go by, there’ll be time enough and more for that.

Hello from Edinburgh, the Festival is in progress and I am here for the day. Arriving about half an hour ago the first order of the day was of course coffee and cake. Today’s venue is the Red Cockerel on Princes Street and the choice is a latte and an almond croissant. The plan I’m thinking of is to head up Lothian Road and back onto the Royal Mile through […]
