Flowers for Easter

This amazing basket of flowers arrived at my door at 8 pm last night, carried from a Morningside flower shop by a courier staggering under its weight. It had been ordered by my stepdaughter and her husband. Her generosity and thoughtfulness mark her as a chip off the old block- definitely his Lordship’s daughter.
Thank you Ann and Andrew, it’s simply beautiful and looks stunning in my window.

I had an early walk to the bike shop at Canonmills and on the way home thought to visit the Farmers Market in Castle Terrace where I was told I could buy wonderful marmalade at a certain stall. However no marmalade is worth a very long snaking queue replicated at either end of the market. I take my hat off to the patience of those prepared to do that. Instead I sat on the patio in the sun with my coffee.

It is so hot today that I have somewhat rashly dispensed with my coat and jumper- pity about the snow and arctic temperatures coming our way tomorrow night. No wonder we Brits talk about the weather all the time.
