Lionesses

Took off a half-day to meet up with some friends who were taking advantage of a very rare visit by Ian A to Scotland.
Lovely as ever to see gorgeous S, seen here chatting away 19 to the dozen with K. As is so often the way, it turns out they only just missed out being at primary school together, etc etc. Later, we met M and H in the Whisky society for a bite to eat and a couple of drams. Splendid!
We saw the Celts exhibition at the Museum. Breathtaking, I can't recommend it highly enough.
The Cramond Lioness wasn't part of that exhibition, but she's such an old and much-loved friend. I'll never forget how cold it was, digging her out of the sucking mud of the Almond River in the depths of winter...
