On holiday...

Birthday holiday...

Up before 6...


...and it looked like it was going to be good...


...which it usually is around my birthday...


More work on "Haydn" first thing...


..then, post breakfast, we left our slippers behind and drove...


...to North Berwick...


Our parking spot afforded a nice walk downhill into the town...


My mum and dad once played tennis on these courts, travelling through to do so from that Glasgow...


...and many an afternoon was spent in my childhood playing putting on these greens...


Down to the windswept beach, looking out towards the Bass Rock...




...and onwards into the town itself...


...where coffee and cake were enjoyed...





...before a wee walk along the main street, shops being visited and CDs being partaken of, as you do...

The views...





Onwards down to the harbour...



...and looking back towards the town, with Berwick Law in the background...


It was still somewhat windswept...





I took the opportunity to picture my purchases in situ...




...while Anne too was somewhat windswept...


A nice sheltered seat at the harbour followed...





However, clouds were moving in and, as we walked back up the hill to the car, we were caught in an unseasonal hailstorm of sorts...



The view from the top of the hill...



On the drive back, we stopped for a coffee...



...and again for a wee walk...


...before heading home for an evening of telly, listening and etc etc that I cannot recall!

Highlight of the day : North Berwick...
