The weather has been fairly horrible - rain and wind, though not at the same time - and the town is full of tourists who might reasonably have expected to enjoy Edinburgh in the spring; and will probably go home and tell their friends that it rains all the time in Scotland. To do Edinburgh justice, I think the weather all over the UK has been similarly revolting. Last Saturday was sunny but very windy - I mean very - and we walked down to the flower show to enjoy the spring display. Sadly, because of the wind, and because the show was in a marquee, everything had to be moved for reasons of safety into a small room nearby, so it was all squashed together. Such a shame for those who had planned for months to get their flowers in tip-top condition for the judging. Still, first world problems, I realise.
Small Granddaughter and Daughter 2 are visiting at the moment, which is lovely. SG and I went to the museum today while her mum was at work. This is her wearing an octopus suit. We had fun, though it was very busy.
Life has been full of family meet-ups, but the Easter holidays will be over in less than a week and things will become more peaceful. Which has its advantages, I suppose.
The flowers are lovely, even all squashed together. It is so nice to gather with family - makes you appreciate the quiet times too.
ReplyDeleteI hope SG enjoyed being an octopus and learnt something about them. Do daughters ever stop working? Mine don't seem to.
ReplyDeleteI'm used to rain and don't mind it, but rain and wind are a horrible combination. Having family around is always fun!
