Charlotte Square

Crocuses out; there was enough sunshine for them to open up. The statue is Prince Albert , by John Steell (again).

Exercise class first thing, then through the West end to go to a  Library meeting in the Hotel Chocolat cafe. 
Took another call walking back through Queen St gardens. 

It was very windy out, 40 mph gusts. It eased off somewhat in the afternoon; we went through the Botanics to Inverleith pond. Swans, ducks and gulls much as usual. Back by the Dundas building site where there were 3 people looking at the big ponds accumulating there.
