Palm house

Errands first thing; along Rose Street, then back by the last day of the Christian Aid book sale. Bought two more books, one of which to pass on. 

A couple of months ago the covers came off the repaired Botanics palm houses, and today we walked around by the rhododendron hill to find an angle for a picture. The Queen Mother's rose garden was open too; lots of roses, but they have a really bad dose of greenfly .. needs soapy water, ladybirds, or something .. the roses aren't quite out yet. 

Tea at the Inverleith house cafe; just barely warm enough to sit in the shade. A gloriously sunny day, 16C high, ENE wind.
