Water of Leith path; Murrayfield Stadium-ish

Carrot and Stick

Right, guys, let's go out and take our Cigs tag for the day.

Cue mumbled discontentment.

Once we've done that, we can pick up Grace and go to Toys R Us and spend the vouchers you all got for Christmas...?

5 and a half minutes later, we're all in the car and heading out.

We stopped on Riversdale Road for one I know of; which I took, but we walked down the side of the river towards Gorgie, the ducks quietly bobbing in the swollen river on one side; the other the grunts and shouts of the Edinburgh rugby team scrum training session.....

We found three new ones down there; some fairly recently. Dated '14 and sounds right as I was last here in September and nothing to be seen then.

However, this one looks fairly old and possibly I missed it in earlier visits here. It's perilously close to my staple lunchtime walk of a couple of years back; she and I used to regularly walk out here and spot kingfishers and pick alpine strawberries whilst sharing cous cous and soups. (Not at the same time....)

Undated, block capitals, no fussiness just plain honest to goodness black paint on concrete lamp post.

Toys R Us was a lot warmer but not nearly as much fun....
