Not The Day For A Swim

The Big Chill continues here. It was  6 degrees below zero and swirling mist when we set off for Edinburgh this morning, and much the same when we were driving back at sunset.
 
In the middle of the day the sun shone and it was as clear and crisp a day as you could want.  After singing - where we were practicing for our Burns Night Social on Saturday - TM and I headed to the seaside. We walked, very gingerly, along Portobello promenade, still white with frost.  After an hour or so our faces were stinging. We retreated to the Beach house to thaw out with hot chocolate before setting out over the hills for home.
