Two Days in Edinburgh

Jean and I are back from 2 nights in Edinburgh.

We saw two photographic exhibitions. One by Joshua Cooper head of Fine Art Photography at the Glasgow School.  Really interesting photos, we enjoyed the viewing.

Took the bus to Leith based on a missed weekend in October which we had planned with friends and had to cancel. We were originally booked into Tom Kitchen's restaurant.

Leith

I had envisaged something like the docks at Liverpool but Leith is still a working port.

What does this thing do?

We passed on touring the Queen's Britannia.

Back in Edinburgh pre Christmas fun was in full swing in the Prince's Gardens.

Ann Pays a Visit

Ann has been on a visit for the last couple of days. Relaxing time walking and drinking coffee with good conversation. Katherine, Rhys and Erin came for dinner.

A brisk walk along the sea front in bright sunshine.

And today we were at Irvine.

Visit To York

We had a few days in York. Not quite our Wedding Anniversary but near enough.

The Dean Court Hotel - our Honeymoon hotel nearly 40 years ago.

We did the standard tourist activities.

Visiting the Minster.

Followed by a walk round the wall

The following day we went to the Railway Museum. Not that I'm keen on steam engines but big engineering is always a draw for me.

Jean found a seat from Grangetown.

A Creative Day

Peaceful and relaxing - a wee walk then Jean painted and I photographed. We are going out with Katherine and the kids for dinner later. Good times.

Hard thinking

Jean Looking Good

I may be biased but Jean is looking good only 2 months since being in hospital.

Portpatrick

Jean and I had a drive to Portpatrick. A dull day not the best for photography.

Katherine's Purse

Clearing out an old purse after buying a new one Katherine produced these.
