It's started !

I was in the centre of Edinburgh this morning, having spoken at an event at the RSE, and as I walked down Castle Street I realised that preparations for this year's Edinburgh Christmas events, including the Christmas Market, were already well underway.

Apparently it opens two weeks today though I could be forgiven for not realising the date or time as I seem to spend most of my life these days locked into meetings about the increasingly gloomy prospects resulting form the  imposed nightmare of Brexit !

My extra picture gives a little of the flavour of them - this one was over breakfast in St Andrews House .
