This is how cold it was today -
The water was freezing as it came tumbling from the urn!
The back end of the castle by the sea we visited last week. It`s a very popular place for weddings...but in the summer months!
It`s a long,long climb to the top!
Yoohoo!
Edinburgh Castle and Mons Meg aka The One O`Clock Gun which is fired each day at ....em....1.00pm! It`s loud enough when you`re down on Princes Street shopping but when you`re this close......eeek!
Someone trying to be a canonball!
The magnificent Edinburgh skyline.
The German Market on Princes Street - the lights make it look warm.....it wasn`t!(I have no idea who any of the people in any of the pics are so I hope they don`t mind that they`ve gone global!).
A pretty miserable looking reindeer!(isn`t it irritating when strangers walk right in front of your shots and smile at you, to boot??!!)
This is how big my knickers will be by the end of the festivities!So....I hope each and every one of you have a splendiferous Festive Season and I will too... if I can get to the shops....if my Amazon purchases turn up....if my eldest can get himself home for Xmas.....if everyone can dig themselves out on Xmas Day ...one piece of Good News is, the turkey`s here and living happily in my freezer but it`s a bit big for one person and a laptray so I`m praying to the Great God of Thaw for some respite from these Arctic conditions. Failing that, it`ll be me going into meltdown!
