HMS Edinburgh, Britannia and things.

Talk about being unpredictable, just like women,   no rain today and once the morning mist / haze cleared it was quite nice, which was great for the boys from IPA No 1 Region  motor cycle section who had a good run out to Gourock, and points west.

Believe it or not, yesterday morning in Edinburgh, before the rain was the calm before the storm - with still waters :-

 HMS Britannia at Ocean Terminal, taken from the opposite side of the quay,   and beside it the HMS  Edinburgh, RN Destroyer here on its final decommissioning tour -

 And just to prove how still the harbour was ;-

 The flour mill  and :-

 the cranes in Leith Docks.

 

Had a wee run down to the Mercat grill with a new batch of meringues. Last night when we had two special orders for banana splits which went down a real treat.

Having made it home and with nice weather I pulled out the steeds of steel, turned over the engines, blew up the tyres, and am now about ready to get them MOT'd  and perhaps manage a few road trips,  last run on my bike was the 10th July 2012, pre hospital and subsequent wasted year.
