It is still windy and cold - the wind continues to come at us from the West and spends the night bashing against the hatch boards. I had bits of paper in to keep them quiet last night but today dawning lovely bright cold windy and I cycled to Crammond - delightful.
I turned up the river Almond and found myself carrying the bike up a long flight of wooden steps - and then down another lot to get back to the river.
Not bored yet. Boats, water, birds, bike, books and Mr Web - good place to be
Granton Harbour looks great in the right light
the local dredger never seems to quit
the big stone building is an old gunpowder store
the new flats that overlook the boat park are already under repair
the daffs are out
but the trees still think it is winter
Up the esplanade towards the bridges there is is this splendidly depressed fish
there is also this sculpture - the figures are double human size and the man has hobbit feet - but I like the sculpture very much
Further along is the River Almond - lovely little quay and boats living along the river
The Cramond Inn was a great pub (haven’t been for a few years, mind) and you can walk out to the island at low tide. Hope the wind sits down soon.
Sorry Dylan …but it’s only 23 deg down here in Maldon with a gentle breeze……
unfortunately the slug doesn’t go in until next Wed so I’m stymied as well…..
We wait…….
Time passes…..
