Portobello Beach Edinburgh Day 229

Early morning lovers walk along the promenade ...
The marathousands trudged this route 24 hours earlier in far less clement conditions. The heras fencing on the right is where the fun fair used to be and has now been cleared for the arrival of 73 new seaside dwellings.

For the first time this year I ran without wooly hat or gloves to the sound of whirring grass mowers and the fluttering of homemade bunting in front of the extended Beach House cafe. Spring has finally come to Portobello. Love is all around us. Enjoy!
