The Floral Clock

[rock_dinosaur]

My friend Elaine came through to Edinburgh today as she and her husband David were going to see the Manic Street Preachers and Suede, who were playing at Edinburgh Castle in the evening. We sat and had a blether for a while in Princes Street Gardens, then went for a wander and had a look at the Floral Clock. I keep wanting to call it The Speaking

That floral clock is fascinating!

It's certainly a well-known landmark of Edinburgh, though having lived here since 1993, I tend to pass it by without noticing it's there. That was the first time in ages that I've had a proper look at it.

Interesting. Edinbrugh seems like a wonderful city full of interesting things to see and do.

It's certainly jam-packed with tourists. I hope they're all enjoying our fabulous summer of fog, wind and bucketing rain!

beautiful

I'll need to try and get a photo of it on a sunny day. If we ever get one before next year, that is!

thankfully its beautiful without sun!

[rock_dinosaur]

It is, but I think everything looks much more beautiful in the sunshine. I suppose having entire summers with no sunshine at all as we frequently do*, we tend to appreciate sunshine all the more on the rare occasions when we do get it!

*I'm exaggerating very, very slightly. We've had about three sunny days so far this year. It's totally pissing down again as I type this!
