Picnic with Lucy

My morning was spent reading some of Mansfield Park, the current Austen novel I'm working on, and then Lucy came by for a picnic lunch on the Meadows. We spent a few hours there eating, chatting, tanning (hopefully - definitely burning despite the factor 50 sunsceen), and people watching. It wasn't as busy as I had imagined it might be, but I guess when the good weather lasts for this long, there's not so many people there every day.

What a wonderful day, chatting to one of my favourite people, discussing old times and how cool we were (umm ...), and enjoying the unusual Scottish weather.
