waving to you all as I enjoy a bit of sunshine through my window after a wet weekend.
Despite the rain we enjoyed a family outing on a canal cruise in the middle of Edinburgh – if you follow the canal it eventually reaches Glasgow (our skipper told us that would take 3 days)
I coincidentally wore the same colour as the boat
We enjoyed cake and plenty of hot tea and a lovely gentle glide along the canal watching people and ducks walking along the path, the wildlife and reflections (more on Friday for 5 in 5) and different architecture and critiquing what people have done to gardens and extensions. We saw some ducklings, swimming fast to avoid the boat – the first I’ve seen this year.
A busy week ahead with the election and then a weekend of rugby 7s. Hope you all have a good week.
And in 4 weeks time I’ll be talking about a weekend in Bristol and meeting some blogfriends. I’ve contacted those I know are near Bristol – if I’ve missed anyone who lives near there or wants to travel there on 30th May then let me know and I’ll include you in the finalisation of details.
OOh, I like the sound of the canal trip. It's on my bucket list..and now you're telling me it's do-able in Edinburgh? How did I not know this?!
ReplyDeleteI hope the sun comes out so you don't spend all week with your hood up
You have colour matched the canal boat beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love canal trips, a lovely way of passing a couple of hours.
Oh! colour co-ordinating with a day out! now that is wonderful. Sounds fun. I had a holiday on a canal boat it was just so much fun. Have a nice (dry) week.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like my kind of trip!
ReplyDeleteWaving back to you! And wishing I could make it to Bristol for your meetup!
ReplyDeleteI love canals Helena, and didn't realise there is one in Edinburgh. I drove past yesterday across the Firth of Fourth bridge.
ReplyDeleteI won't be in the Bristol area in May but hope we might be able to meet up in September when I will be visiting Edinburgh and exploring the area on my way. I will message you with more details.
Meantime have lots of fun in Bristol, do visit the camera obscura next to Clifton Suspension bridge if you get a chance.
