Heading home

There was some sort of military event in Edinburgh today; the Queen was...reviewing the troops?...presenting new colours?...something like that. Enough for me to abandon the idea of trying to get across town to a yoga session. I'd have spent longer on the bus than doing yer actual yoga. CanCarrier got a fulmar's eye shot of the whole mullarkey.

But as one door closes another opens (allegedly). S & J decided to have an impromptu BBQ in Holyrood Park later on in the afternoon and up the other end from the military. It was a delightful event; several tiny persons finding their feet and losing them again, plus general good chat, food and wine. Speaking of whining, grandma arrived just in time! ;-)

Whilst we gently caroused in the sunshine, we saw several groups of soldiers heading across the park presumably in search of their transport back to barracks.
