A trip to Peebles by bus!

We decided it was such a cracker of a day that a trip to Peebles w as in order and by bbus a s well! I don't know when I was last on a bus and had forgotten just how bumpy, noisy and rattly a double decker bus could be so it was an experience I hadn't had for some years! It was well worth the noise and shoogliness though and one I'm quite likely to repeat again before too long! Here's some photos I took during the visit!

A wander round a bit of Edinburgh we’ve not been to for a while!

The two Highland Cattle were still as relaxed as ever and refused to come any nearer to me no matter how much I insulted them!

A couple of the tourist attractions in The Royal Mile we saw today

St Giles Cathedral standing majestically in The Royal Mile! With Grey Friars Bobby just downn the street a short distance!

This must be one of the cutest ponies in Britain!

Out walking a couple of days ago and came across this cute pony and its equally cute rider and just had to photograph them and show them on my blog!

Back up in the hills….but bloody cold though no wind!

Back up in the hillsc again today but really feeling the cold even though there was no wind to blow in to my body! The photos show Barrie and Clive exiting the descent we named the "shelterbelt" for fairly obvious reasons! Snow forecast in the next day or two s o we'll just have to wait with fingers crossed!

Walking a lap round Edinburgh Park today

The Edinburgh Tram caught passing through Edinburgh Park on its way to Edinburgh Airport from St Andrews Square in the centre of town!

And an admiring pair of ducks!

Just had to show this handsome lad I passed while out walking today

Aint he a fine looking chap?

First time out on the mountain bike for a good few weeks!

Clive phoned today and suggested a short(ish) bike ride up in the Pentlands as I hadnt been out for a good few weeks and boy did I know ! My backside i s going to suffer for a few days but given time it should recover! We managed 14 miles roughly and I felt a bit rough at the finish too!! Onwards and upwards though!
