Lunch In Edinburgh

to view Nicola Benedetti’s new portrait "commissioned" by the Scottish Portrait Gallery.

Fellow Blippers who watched Sky Arts Portrait of The Year will be aware of this.

In the morning Pat had been to Life Drawing at the Scottish Arts Club while I enjoyed the delights of the Royal Botanical Gardens.

I have taken about fifty photos in the garden and had enjoyed several discourses with fellow visitors. The weather was rather steamy at an uncomfortable 24C.

However, the Gardens are always helpful in uplifting the spirit.

Pat and I met Jane M and enjoyed catching up after her visit to her relatives in France.

We looked at the Portrait. I found it to be a major disappointment. 

After lunch we then headed back home dropping into the Buffalo Farm to see the newborn buffalo calfs and purchasing some goodies for the next few weeks.
