Merry Christmas

Well it's that time of year once again, where we all regret eating too much and drink too much, but don't regret that one until the morning after.

Another year nearly over, but I did have rather a pleasent surprise earlier in the week, I was notifed that I had been a winner in a prize draw and will receive a pair of walking boots. Chuffed to bits as I have never won a prize draw before. So I look forward to receiving them and trying them out.

Last picture of Scotland

Last Picture from my Edinburgh collection...though with the depths of winter approaching, the opportunity to take some stunning or just reasonable pictures is very limited. I find that driving to work at sunrise there has been some fabulous coloured skies, misty foregrounds. Ideal for that winter picture. At the weekend when I am not at work and have the time, its gloomy and wet. Hopefully over the Christmas period, when I do have some time off....there will be some clear dry days and near perfect conditions...we can but hope!

More Pictures...

Well I feel I have failed my late new years resolution of more frequent posting of Blogs. Doesn't time fly. It seems a couple of days ago we were in Edinburgh and now its already December, and the C word is literally on our doorstep.

The picture is another from our trip to Edinburgh and is part - a very small part - of the entrance gates to the Botanical Gardens. The gates were very intricate metal work and all the metal flower petals engraved.
