Spent the day, solo, in Edinburgh yesterday. I walked down to Leith, from the centre and had a lovely wander around and some lunch, before jumping a bus back to Canongate, a walk up The Royal Mile and booked myself a tour in Mary King's Close. Such a lovely, carefree day.

The nice thing about being from Leith is I can say I'm a Leither, which sounds much better than Edinburgher.
The chimera blossom of Edinburgh's Harrison Park adds a bit of multicoloured mystery to the year's blossom season.

A lovely spring day for a walk from the zoo to Roseburn and up to Ravelston Dykes. It was *almost* warm enough that I wished I was wearing shorts.
