Show us a photo of a place you love.
A photo? One photo? Goodness, not a chance when, of course, the answer must be a garden. (These are not my best photos, but some of my favs, nonetheless.) I think that my favourite garden is the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. When we lived on the Royal Mile, I could walk to the gardens in about 20 minutes and I must have gone about 2 or 3 times a week. It is still one of the first places I go when I go back. I love the quiet that descends upon you as soon as you walk through the gates and I can easily lose myself in there for hours. There used to be a great little tea shop just outside the East Gates that served the best lentil soup; it made for a very good day out. The only thing I didn't like was that going during the week I had to dodge all the Morningside Mums and their posh prams and precocious children. Although, I did like all the old ladies that went and I tried to follow them around surreptitiously listening in on their conversations about plants. I would go in all weathers and I remember once when it was so cold that Lucy and I had to wrap ourselves up in a wool blanket as we had our tea. We laughed ourselves silly because we looked like a vision of our future. And I will be in the gardens at the end of the month with Lucy and I can hardly wait. Huzzah.
Show us a photograph that makes you laugh.
