Shade portrait at the seaside

Taken at the new restaurant at the Joppa end of Portobello's Esplanade. Weirdly, it occupies part of what is still a water treatment works, processing waste water before it is let back out into the sea. I guess all the equipment is smaller now and so part of the building was surplus to requirements.

It was great to get some fresh air, plus the sun lifted my mood a bit too. H went to a birthday party nearby, giving D and I the opportunity to get out together.

Also did another walk around the block later in the afternoon. I've progressed from needing a stop every few metres to being able to do the whole circuit with practically no breaks.

Extra of a new dahlia.
