Drookit

Met up with MT for tea & fruit scone.

I was already soaked by the time I got to the café as it poured & every puddle along the main road was splashed my way.

Afterwards I walked down to Old Cramond Brig. This is the puddly entrance to the river walk. I only squelched a bit up the river footpath before turning as could hear thunder in the distance & 2nd soaking incoming. Not keen on walking thru trees when thunder & lightning even if in a distance.

Got changed & showered my cold muddy feet before chilling with another cuppa.


Mixed memories of experiences of end of life care with own family & friends when hearing the news from Balmoral about Queen Elizabeth.

Heard a piper in the square late afternoon, I am sure will hear them again soon.

Thinking of the family trying to hold it together for the sake of one another & the added pressure of the outside world.

Never an easy time for anyone.



Edit: Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth.
