The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (locally known as 'Modern Two'). The latest exhibition was showing the work of Emile Nolde, late 19th early 20th century German painter. I liked some of his stuff but some of it was quite dreary. Here's my favourite....
Secret Edinburgh. On our long walk from the Gallery to uptown Edinburgh, we chanced upon some fine architecture....
This is St. Bernard's Well, the water from which used to be drank by those suffering from various dispositions by way of a method of healing, not sure if I'd drink it now though!
The 'Pink Pound' is very much in evidence in this part of the city.
It was so quiet and peaceful here with just the sound of the rushing water to break the silence. If I ever win the lottery, I shall buy a house here!
In the grounds of the art gallery.
and no 'staycation would be complete without some baking of the cupcakes and smothering them in blue icing made with tiny hands......
Have you been anywhere exotic and exciting on your holidays/vacation? I'd love to hear all about it.

Thank you to my trusty band of loyal 'viewers' and especially for taking the time to leave each comment.
Love you loads.

so lovely to see you getting out and exploring, resting with your feet up too! Well, I for one would like to see what you've been doing when not resting -making Christmas presents for those girlies I suspect :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank goodness for you too, Betty, my trusty friend. Everyone else seems to be indisposed/indifferent/on vacation/too busy to read my words and look at my pics. I may do a post on the etiquette of blogging sometime soon!!Thanks for popping in, Betty.
DeleteEdinburgh is on my bucket list so love to see pictures of it. We have also staycationed this year and loved it. xx
