Menodventure; When One Must Travel

Stayed over in Edinburgh a bit longer than I had originally intended. Partly to keep the father company. Mainly because the weather turned.  After all those crisp, clear days mentioned on Tuesday's post, winter proper arrived. There were a couple of calmer days, but they were more by surprise than by forecast and things were happening... Visited Leith Docks and Ocean Terminal (that will come up in a few posts time) on one of those.  The other, I had arranged to visit the Art Gallery with a friend.

Anyhoo, last Sunday the trip just had to be made.  The outlook wasn't too inviting.  As you will see, that outlook deteriorated. Around mid-trip it dropped from chilly grey to snow ploughs and headlamps, full wipers and 45mph on the M8. From there it moved into Grimy and before long it was Absolutely Dismal ... and then it was Gourock and the ferry, where I finally could stop and take photos.

Not bad for 1:30 in the arvo, he na??? I wasn't quick enough on the draw to shoot the wave which came over that prow a few seconds after the last shot...

I was in the door with the kettle on by 2pm.

Thing is I shall be going back over next Wednesday... or maybe Thursday... as I bought some artworks at that exhibition we visited and need to pick the frames up on the Friday... One of our blue, still days would be welcome.

UPDATE; NCSue has had to post the weekly linkup early.... I am joining that but will keep my Less Speak More Peek linky for Tuesday as usual. If you are visiting from Sue's place, please feel free to leave a link in the comments box!
