A friend of my daughter who did film studies at Uni (he’s going to 30 or 31) came up with this list of the Bond films from best to worst. I think the poor lad is insane and needs an intervention.

Aviemore yesterday and Edinburgh today. The snow might be pretty but it’s not for me. As far as I’m concerned snow is a pain in the arse (especially when I slip and fall).

When she was young my late mum would buy postcards from places she visited and write details of the visit on the back. Her and dad were married on 17th March 1951 in Alloa and stayed at the North British (X marks the room) on their way to their honeymoon. In Ripon for some reason.

A new place for me in Central Edinburgh. The quiet garden at the end of the terrace above Victoria Street. I especially like the wee howff and roof garden you can see above one of the Grassmarket buildings.
