After we aggressively pruned the lavender, the hydrangea (Princess Diana) behind is now free to grow in this direction until the lavender grows back. Yes we have a small garden so space is precious. #gardening

I took a walk down Castle Street, noticing how quiet Princes Street is, reminding me of Covid lock down times. So sad to see the burnt out former Debenhams building, hopefully the front can be saved and street opened again soon.

Roseburn Place #edinburgh #scotland #architecture #photography #iphone #gb #uk #britain #modernarchitecture
Front view of a modernist building on Roseburn Place in Edinburgh, elevated on white cylindrical columns. A large glazed atrium with a pitched roof projects from the centre of the upper level, while a curved glass-block stairwell rises beneath it. The pale stone façade is symmetrical, framed by residential buildings and trees under a blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.

Most folk know the daily footsteps Edinburgh's Calton Hill experiences but d'you realise how dry it is with so little rain - parched & very worn grass. From a mile away I caught dust swirling around the National Monument & a low sun casting shadows for a surreal vision #Edinburgh
