Day 300: Snow
You may have noticed but we've been having some weather in Edinburgh these days.
It's been great, although obviously bringing the city to a standstill has its down sides too. This evening, I had to walk most of the 4 miles home as the bus services had been suspended.
By the time we got to Duddingston, socks soaking, feet cold, we thought 'maybe we could hitch the rest of the way', stuck thumb out in a rather half-hearted fashion just as a giant 4x4 was passing.... and... IT STOPPED. Approx. 1 nanosecond spent waiting for a ride - the fastest hitchhike in history.
Giant 4x4 therefore driven by Guardian Angel No. 4, as she shall now be known, and took us all the way home.
I took this photo at lunch time today in the Meadows. Hope you like it.

Day 295: Snails
I think, generally, I'm quite adventurous when it comes to food... but... I'm afraid, there is something about snails. Maybe it's the look of their rubbery texture or the knowledge of how they drag their slimey asses over every surface. I don't know if I will ever actually pluck up the courage to try them.
They are popular in Morocco though, great vats of the things, as here, at the many snail stalls in the Djemma El Fna, all with plenty of people gathered round enjoying their hearty bowl of snail soup.
Sadly, I wasn't one of them. Not this time anyway.
