Sunshine on Leith.

I am very fortunate to love my job. And on a day when the Botanics is my workplace, I love it even more!

Eternally grateful for my little corner of the world.

Such a brilliant afternoon celebrating Edinburgh Pride. An amazing atmosphere and so much fun.

Happy Pride if you celebrate. You are seen. You are loved. You belong.

After many mistakes and much swearing, I have finished my first cross-stitch in 25 years!

North/South Queensferry adventures.

Attended my first paper cutting workshop this evening. Not bad for someone who doesn't rate their artistic skills very highly!

I love Orchids, but I've never been able to keep them (or any other plant!) alive. Now I have one that I don't have to remember to water. A really fun build.

Two of my favourite installations at Christmas at the Botanics. Such a fun evening. Highly recommended!

I love this time of year. So many lights in the darkness.

Glad to be home after an exhausting few days. We arrived on Thursday to snow in Exeter and then a beautifully sunny day on Friday. We ended up with an extra day due to a cancelled flight on Sunday and landed in high winds yesterday. A day to rest today before going back to work tomorrow.

It's been a hard day. But we've laughed as much as we've cried.

Fly high, Dad.

Not the best photo, but I really enjoyed watching the moon appear from behind the wee island this evening.
