Lingering Leith

Oh... Innis & Gunn? Nah, not today, for...

there was Caesar Augustus to try - a "lager/IPA hybrid", ok..., not bad, quite good, but then...

there was also Seven Giraffes - "a blend of seven grains, three hop strains and a late infusion of elderflower and lemon" - oh well, go on then... Whose move is it next? I forget... And what's the game anyway? 

Look both ways...

Better have a coffee...

Oh....

Them again... They are everywhere... And... hang on a minute... 200 yards away...

Look up there! My lady and me made two children behind those third floor windows, one in eh... 1986, and one in eh... 1988, if I am allowing for the gestation times correctly. A job well done, I'd say...

and both of the children used to enjoy running across this parkland to those swings and roundabouts in the distance... Swings and roundabouts... they come and go. So much time. So little time. So many beers to try... A little bit of beer can get me minorly maudlin though, while lingering in Leith. How old am I? How old are they? How did all that happen? Let's have some Innis & Gunn...

Moving to The Hill

For a bit of a change, have moved golf membership from The Island to The Hill

Some small images, meantime, courtesy of their website:

These members down at the first tee on the opening day in June 1911 are long gone though

Fearless fowl

Choose something?

I read the message, ignored it, and escaped

The sky always says something

Vertigosity

I took a wary walk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge, while the final two photos in this post show that my son - on the right in the glass box - had recently enjoyed his own high rise sights in Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile my lady managed just a few yards along the Clifton Bridge walkway before deciding that was enough for her and retreating. She doesn't cope well with heights. Without any warning of their presence, my son was highly alarmed to suddenly see bodies falling around him near the box - then parachutes opened... Base jumpers from the top. The jumpers then took the lift back to the top and jumped off again. Not my idea of fun.
