Over the sea to Skye
Alfredo was like a child in a candy shop. He had arrived at his all time favourite castle and the sun was out, the sky was blue and it wasn’t raining. He was in heaven. All he had to do was get all of the castle into his Canon camera! Meanwhile, the other tourists were doing [...] -
How windy can it get?
Sandra & Alfredo decided that the wee pimple that is Arthur’s Seat would be fine to walk up one evening. Thing is they didn’t reckon on the wee breeze from Scandinavia which was cold and very, very strong. Sandra had all three ‘vestitos’ on, plus a fleece and wind jacket and still couldn’t believe this was [...] -
A very old Image
A street artist uses his chalks to create a masterpiece on the streets of Edinburgh. -
Twa Pipers
My good friend Iain asked me to take his photo for a new advert for the Council brochure. Well I missed the first sitting because I was watching the football, but he didn’t ’shoot me’ (another story) and we rescheduled. As you can see, there are two of them, all dressed up to the nineties in [...] -
Haven in Skye
We are just back from Skye and having watched Monty and his dog, Reuben in South Uist on telly you do miss the place; rain and wind included. Monty had just been to visit St Kilda, forty-one miles off the coast of the Outer Hebrides. Like many before him had fallen for the island, even [...] -
Look what we found
This morning I couldn’t believe my eyes. Initially I thought the pile of bags dropped onto the walkway was the work of a ‘tipster’ but I now know it was the work of The Water of Leith Conservation Group who had been cleaning up this stretch of the river. It’s not often you find a Honda [...] -
Special Offer
A real saving can be made in Tesco stores this week. Don’t buy the pack of six buns for 50p, buy two packs for a £1 … and save the time to have two packets scanned rather one. No-one at Tesco wished to comment. And based on previous mistakes in this store, they wouldn’t care. -
Thou Shalt Not Play
Now this doesn’t seem fair at all! The park has everything a kid wants – swings goalposts, grass and lots of space. So why can’t it be used on a Sunday? Because that’s the day is called the Sabbath in this neck of the woods and you’re not meant to enjoy yourself. They’ve only just allowed [...] -
Paisley Close
On the Royal Mile, aka the High Street in Edinburgh there are many, many closes (small alleys) which cut through the main apartment buildings, in both sides of the streets. Above each Close is a name plaque and sometimes a little bit of history. But one Close has the most decorative stonework plus a scroll [...] -
Campagnolo – Genius!
At the top of a very, very steep pass in the Feltre area is the village of Croce D’Aune. Once you’ve got your breath back and look around you’ll see locals sitting under the canopy of the only hotel left open on the pass. Also around you is a tourist office, car park and some [...]
