Edinburgh's Seaside, Porty

It was a gloriously sunny day, so KryptoMart and I spent the afternoon at the beach before going to our friend Farida's house for some afternoon tea, while sitting out in her garden.

Portobello beach has just been awarded an excellent category by the EU, which effectively means that it is in the 'A' list of European Union beaches.

A little known fact about Portobello:

The classic ice-cream cornet with a flake pushed in it, the '99', is widely thought to have originated at Arcari's Ice Cream parlour at 99, Portobello High Street. The Arcari family still make ice cream nearby but not at the original location.
