Playing Catch Up - North Berwick

Good and faithful readers, let me apologize for the lacking of posting as of late. It’s not that we haven’t been doing anything interesting. Oh, I assure you, we have. Rather, the research business has been rather time consuming of late and Kellie recently started her new job with the City of Edinburgh Council, so there hasn’t been too much time for the ceremonial updating of blogs. But that ends here and now… well, for the moment, anyway, and until I get tied up with work again. In what follows, I shall present a brief summary of some of our small adventures in the last month or so. I’m sure you will find them fascinating.

First, North Berwick. Let me set the scene for the pictures below. It was a cold, but boring weekend, so Kellie and I decided to hop on the train and head to North Berwick, a coastal town about 30 minutes away, to see what we could see. The plan was to visit one of the two castles, maybe both, and to see the beach. Well, Mother Nature intervened, and suffice it to say, it seemed to us far too cold to enjoy the castles, which were a good mile and a half walk from the city centre. After lunch in town, we headed to the beach, only to get snowed on. Hence the shivering in the photos. We did, however, find some lovely seashells, which made it all worthwhile. Perhaps. Needless to say, this will be a good locale to return to when the weather becomes somewhat more cooperative.
