A few pics from Edinburgh

A weekend visit to see Jim in Scotland with the boys. Cold, rainy and dark but a fantastic time was had by all.

Harry & Mark looking suprisingly poised tucking into the whiskies at erm.. Whiski on the Royal Mile.

Mark on top of Arthur's Seat.. with the world at his feet.

A wee toast atop the hill..

The sinister, ghostly head haunts old Edinburgh...


...he cheers up when you buy him a drink though..


Spied on the walls of Whiski - the decor is a mix of kitsch, whisky boxes and pictures of Alfred Hitchcock.

Volunteered at X's school for the first time today...

A date to look forward to..

Just had the 7 week scan. In just 2 weeks the indistinct splodge on the monitor has become something alot more recognisable. I found watching the tiny heart speeding away (at 150bpm according to Ellen) almost hypnotic.

Yes, new life is on its way - fingers crossed. We'll be expecting a mini Alex or Ellen to make their bow on or around 26th June 2011.

And I gather that's when life REALLY gets interesting...

The best part of Halloween

I was aiming for a 'Blade Runner' kind of vibe..

The image never beats the memory, no matter how many pictures you try to take.. but still you try..

Taken whilst ascending the Millennium Wheel 27th October 2010. The city of London stretched out below us, you could almost hear it begging to be photographed. Here we have the view down towards Charing Cross train station and Embankment Bridge. The Post Office Tower sticks up far left background like something the Teletubbies would have in their front room...

Coming down... Houses of Parliament on the right. My Nokia failed to capture the play of light on the surface of the river.. looks like a dimly reflective piece of linoleum..

I'll be taking my 90 Gig camera up there next time, I reckon!
