A Pictorial Catch Up.

The last few weekends have been very busy with fun stuff, so have not had a chance to catch up with the old blog. Here is a less words, more photos, kind of post.


Edinburgh Festival is back again, which means traffic, traffic traffic, and some very grumpy hours having to drive through town. The traffic management system of this fair city is beyond horrific!

Jams.

Although I find the whole festival thing quite tedious these days, a good girlie night out was had at "Forth on the Fringe".

 Gin a necessary accompaniment to a good night out.

Gin in Tins.

Thick ankles?

A walk up Ben A'an made for a lovely day out, even though we got a bit wet in the rain. A short and steep walk that is well worth it for the views at the top.

Not sure if he was hungry, but definitely a caterpillar.

Loch Katrine.

Day out, home cooked dinner, drinks and a rainbow. What else does a girl need?

Lunch at my Tay spot.

Harbour at Granton.

A day trip west to Culzean Castle. The drive through is quite far but well worth it for a walk along the beach and then up to the very picturesque castle and gardens.

A bonus for the day was seeing an adder soaking up some warmth on a piece of rock, before it slithered off into the grass.

Pretty.

This weekend has been busy with running and mountain biking and more rainbows. 

Happy? I think so.

Old sofa recycled.

Those of you that read my little blog from time to time may remember my Demolition Girl post which outlined the joy I took in breaking up my old sofa.

In taking the sofa to pieces I cut out rather large patches of leather to get to the innards and necessary nuts and bolts. These pieces of leather I gave to a friend of mine called Lizzie, who, amongst other things,  is a very talented book maker.

Yesterday I received a very beautiful book made out of the leather that I had passed on to Lizzie.

It is extremely fabulous and I very much feel the need to show and tell you all about it.

My sofa never looked so good.

You can find more of Lizzie's amazing books at Starstruck Books, please have a look.

Colours.

It may have become apparent that I like colourful things. Colour helps cheer up those dull times when everything looks and feels gray.  I found some colour to kick start my day. I am amused by the simple things life has to offer sometimes!

Pens.

Rainbow lids.

Spots and Circles.
