The retired life

Life continues very busy with my choir-chairing responsibilities (which I think are slowing down now, famous last words) but we went up at the weekend to visit Son and family on a beautiful, if chilly, autumn day. We went for a walk in a wood. 

Medium Granddaughter swung. 

And the sun shone. 

Then another day we went along the coast a bit on a bus with the walking chums, and walked back into Musselburgh for 6 and a bit miles.

There was quite a sharp wind, but walking kept us warm. 

This stands in Port Seton, and is made up of  metal objects salvaged from the nearby Cockenzie Power Station when it was demolished. According to Google, "This consists of a set of large steel balls and a ring, which came from one of the coal milling machines used to grind coal to a fine powder for firing the boilers." 

Such a lovely day out with nice friends. 

Look at the size of Big Grandson! He's a lot taller than me, and every week seems to have shot up another six inches. He's still a lovely boy, though. Is he reading a good book here? No, alas, he's watching a YouTube about trains or something. Each to his own.
