Not easy to see because of (a) my terrible photography and (b) their incredible camouflage on the rocks, but in this picture there is a seal with two pups. On the in between and

Surprised to find the gatekeepers of this pathway were crows. The today once past the gatekeepers was especially wonderful (not from the crows I hasten to add)

Popped along to Eskmills Venue to see the exhibition for 's Flood Protection scheme being put forward by Council. The 3D animation fly-through of the design was a useful visualisation aid. Inevitably it will change the beautiful walks along the , esp. with the 1m(+) walls being proposed & bridges being removed & replaced in slightly different places. But with the feeling more real every day our options now seem limited

High Street no longer has a offering a full range of services since the one in £ Stretcher closed down, but I learned today that this shop - AA Phone Fix - has had a Post Office counter since 19th May. How come nobody told me?!

Another visit to the new ash lagoons in

The most easterly of the five new bird hides has a spectacular view looking towards Arthur's Seat.

Alas, the other thing the rains have brought is overflowing drains. Not pleasant. The number of non-flushable wet wipes chucked down the toilet by morons really doesn't help; there's a lot of them on the path.

Different route to usual for my early morning walk today and I discovered that the paths around 's newest ash lagoon are finally open (accessed from close to the bike circuit next to racecourse).

There are five new bird hides to view from. This lagoon is so new it lacks vegetation, so presently there aren't many for to see. Hundreds (maybe thousands?) of saplings have been planted around the site, which will be stunning in a few years time.

Nice to see the swans returning en masse to over the last couple of days, I counted around sixty this morning. The is a pretty wonderful place to see birds rn; ducklings, goslings and even baby goodanders (whatever they're called). And also these wee things, an impressively large Eider duckling nursery...

Fell off the bike yesterday - nothing too serious - and was humbled by the kindness of a stranger where they parked up their van, offered to load up my bike and drive me home.

I was a little dazed at the time (and know this is a bit of a stretch) but if you are out there in the thank you SO SO much.
