Heading along Market Street today behind Waverley station. I was reminded of these arches that run along the left of the street, getting smaller as they near the station.
You can see the first one, doors closed on the left, I’m sure they are to be used as stalls during the festival.
A busy Royal Mile today as the tourists swarm up to the Castle, here’s a view of the Camera Obscura from the top of the Mile.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been in, but i have heard many good things, especially to do with the new exhibits.
I will have to promise to return as time has ran away yet again.
A quick nip to the bank today, but had to stop to listen (and sketch) the busker on the Royal Mile. Very good blues guitar, I wish I had longer to watch.
Out and about with the twins, snug in their pram, James can hardly be seen but Zoe is looking round, beginning to get hungry.
I’m sketching while rocking the pram with one foot, which may explain why its not my best!
Breakfast, and together with a bowl of muesli this piece of toast made the perfect start to the day. Even though, thanks to the kids I’m already three hours into it! Morning everyone x
An early morning breakfast at Edinburgh Royal Hospital. Joanne and the twins are doing great, hopefully we will be home tomorrow. Everyone has been so nice here but it will be a week tomorrow we came in and now its time to take the family home! 🙂
Sitting in the King’s Park, or is that Queen’s Park now? I can’t remember. It’s definitely King Arthur’s Seat in the background.
Ten minutes listening to the birdies does wonders for the soul 🙂 Now back to the office!
My first dabble in water colour on the go, and ok it isn’t great, but it’s a definite start.
Plus a confidence boost to know the sky won’t fall in if you get you paints out in the street!
Gorgeous day today in Edinburgh btw!
Here is a close up of today’s post box, I thought the earlier post was a little far away. I always like these sketches close-up so you can see all the strokes. Enjoy! more tomorrow. ES
Sketches, news and family life in Scotland's capital city.
