Hop, skip and

....jump.

A chilled day with our visitor, D, who is over from Berlin (where we last saw him) or possibly Tilburg (where he works). We made a slow start, not least because it was raining quite hard outside, but the weather gradually improved (as forecast). At around 1pm we headed out and went off to do the Allermuir Hill walk from Swanston, this time in the reverse direction (anticlockwise). When we started off, it was still quite grey and there were a few spots of rain in the air. When we finished (see extra), it was extremely sunny (and quite windy). We then repaired to the Stable Bar in Mortonhall to sit out and enjoy a drink, and then back here for an delicious meal supplied by Mr A.

Now we're listening to some jazz, finishing a bottle of red wine, and eating chocolate and ginger biscuits (no pudding having been supplied...).

Allermuir Hill felt like a doddle compared to February/March.
