Harbour Hunting

A 4 hour bike ride to the Forth Coast and Granton Harbour and then along the coastline to Longniddry before heading home. A nice ride under grey skies.

In the afternoon we did a bit more open doors visiting at the Gardeners Cottage in Princes Street gardens and learned about ambitious plans to reshape the west gardens.

Edinburgh Open Doors Day

Cherry and Colin headed out on bikes to visit various public buildings as part of the annual open doors day. We started with the Music School at St Mary's Cathedral.

Then headed to an organic community garden in Muirhouse.

Then onwards to Drumsheugh Baths and a University research department based at the Western General Hospital.

Colony of Artists

An interesting afternoon visiting the Colony of Artists event at Abbeyhill. Lots of local homes in the "colony" properties opened up for artists to display their work. An interesting mix and nice to be nosey round their homes.

Indian Summer and a Climate Strike

An amazing sunny day saw me down to Portobello to get some repairs done on the car and read some Board papers in a cafe on Portobello sea front.

On returning home around 11 am I joined the Climate Strike march which went from the Meadows to Holyrood Park - meeting Cherry along the way.

Exeter

Colin headed by plane down to Exeter for a couple of intensive days of Board meetings for LV=. Managed to get a few free minutes for a walk around the town centre on a lovely summer evening.
