Victoria Park Pals

A frosty morning today as day started at Victoria Park, Edinburgh.

I love the colours in the sky just now, the fading, merging hues as the pinks and blues blend with yellows and reddy browns.

It was a frosty cold morning when I looked across the park and noticed these three friends making their way to school. A dog walker throws a ball for his pal and cyclists whiz by.

A busy morning full of familiar sounds and sights. Welcoming, unthreatening and wonderful.

Victoria Sponge Sunday

VictoriaSpongeIt looks a lovely Sunday out there but if the showers do return there’s no better place to take cover than the Modern Art Gallery.

Just fifteen minutes walk from Princes Street through Edinburgh’s stunning west end the gallery is easily accessible and a great place to have lunch or afternoon coffee and cake, surrounded by interesting and thought provoking art work.

I stopped by recently, and was delighted to find this gluten free victoria sponge in the Cafe Modern One.

This sketch was drawn in black ink with a watercolour wash.
