Sunshine and hail

Nick gave me a lift back to Summerhall to pick up the car. On the way back I pulled over on Regents Terrace to take this pic of the sun cresting Arthur's Seat. I'm not sure what this monument is called, but I'm sure there'll be an interesting story behind it.

A hearty breakfast before heading back to Planet Acme where we found the offspring tired, but basically unharmed. We dragged them off into the winter sunshine to walk a circuit Claire discovered last week, starting at Lyne Station, skirting past Haswellsykes and then coming back along the railway line.

We finished off pruning the tall fruit trees this afternoon, just as clouds rolled in and a shower of hail sent us running for shelter.
