Edinburgh Skyline

In November I got to go a training event at the Edinburgh Amazon office. The course was good but one of the best bits was the trip up the roof to see the views over Edinburgh. It had been raining all day but there was a lovely break in the weather and some great views.

 

Wild water swimming

Over the summer I started wild water swimming (or sometimes called cold water swimming because it really is). So far I have carried it on and hope to continue though I didn't go in the snow so not sure how I will manage that one.

But I did go in the fog. That was interesting.

There is sea there. Somewhere

And I have also been when it was really cold in December. It doesn't look like it as the weather looks lovely but it was super cold. And the water was really rough and mucky so not too pleasant. We were all freezing and filthy when we got out. I don't like it when it is too rough; I like to have some control how quickly I get cold!

I enjoy it though not so much at the time. I have a new dry robe for Christmas (this one was my dads) so I should be ready for the rest of the winter!
 

Hand feeding starlings

The starlings at Portobello are getting very used to being fed. You can now even hand feed some of them and they pose for photos.  

Allean Walk

Just a few pictures from our walk in the Allean forest near Pitlochry back in October.
