Diverted

My Dear Fellow,

Today I decided to walk back from Haymarket via the Water of Leith. With one problem. I knew there was an entrance somewhere around Haymarket, but where?

It turned out to be semi-hidden. At least with my rubbish powers of observation. There's an entrance hidden amongst the iron fencing that I just couldn't see for looking. But eventually, I spotted it, and was confronted with these stairs. 

Given that I was carrying a laptop bag, today's shopping and also because I am me, I was very careful negotiating them and gripped the rail so tightly I managed to smear my hand with birdpoop without even caring.

It was a lovely walk, though somewhat spoiled by the number of diversions and closed paths. Still, Dean Village is very pretty and it only took me about 40 minutes (including blip-breaks).

I hope your afternoon was as pleasant.
