Washing drying
This is how I dry my washingduring the winter-
all draped over our central heating radiators.
Not exactly HOUSE and GARDENS-but efficient!

Football
I was at a conference today at this football stadium.
It is the Hibernian Stadium in Edinburgh, and I took these photos
because Jack loves football stadiums!
It is in a very built up part of the city, so it is virtually impossible to get a
complete view.
This is the front:
Some display cases in the lounge area:
More exterior views:

Allotments
Because of high density housing, Britain has many allotments.
You can apply to lease a piece of land to garden.
I think these may heave originated during the war, when food was scarce,
and people were encouraged to grow their own food.
I pass one lot of allotments on my way to work, so today I stopped to take some photos.
The gardening season has not yet started, so the allotments are not productive at the moment.
Aren't they lovely?

Bonaly
I went for a quick walk this afternoon at Bonaly Country Park.
It started to hail while I was there.
I like this photo of the rusty fence.
The path leads across the end of the reservoir, on the right,
and filtration tanks on the left.
This old winch is by the fence-I don't know its purpose.
The bottom picture shows a view across the city-
Edinburgh Castle can be seen on the left,
just above the clump of trees.
and Arthur's Seat (Holyrood Park) is the big hill on the right.
Love the sky behind these trees,
and the snowdrops are a sign that Spring is on the way!

City Chambers
Today I did a presentation to a group of Post Graduate students
at the City Chambers. The building is very traditional, and formal
with lots of ornate features. As you can see it is all rather grand,
with wall niches, statues, ornate cornices and lots of wood carving-look at the chairs:
and of course, chandeliers:
