They look very impressive. They are on display until 7th February. <br />Link below for more details. <br />http://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2014/warrior-lanterns-100114<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1173.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1173.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1174.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1174.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1175.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1175.jpg' border='0' width='158' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1176.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1176.jpg' border='0' width='158' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1177.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1177.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1178.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1178.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=14/02/03/1179.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/14/02/03/s_1179.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-25441828408144739812014-01-03T07:05:00.001+00:002014-01-03T07:18:46.142+00:00New Year Resolutions 2014Every year I make new year resolutions which vary from definite 'to dos' to wishful thinking - this year they are not strict guidelines or targets, just general things to try and do or think about. I will make an action plan for work stuff and maybe a 'to do' list for life stuff but for now, this is it: <br />
<br />
<br />
New Year Resolutions 2014<br />
<br />
Don't worry unless it's actually a life / death scenario<br />
Keep things in perspective - stand back<br />
There doesn't have to be a solution for everything, you don't have to find it and you don't have to own it.<br />
Look out for opportunities and go with them<br />
Continue to have a backup plan<br />
Be more organised - have a work plan<br />
Busyness is not necessarily cool<br />
Technology is cool - exciting and interesting<br />
Network and build relationships where possible<br />
Communicate with those who want to - don't worry about those who don't<br />
<br />
Walk more<br />
Read more<br />
Sleep more<br />
Take time to be at places<br />
Continue to take a photo a day<br />
Eat less unsuitable stuff<br />
Continue to eat tea and cake when necessary<br />
<br />

It starts at Grey's Monument and ends at the Civic Centre. We have been to it for the last 5 years and each year it gets busier. But it is worth going to and the fireworks are excellent. <br />

After the fireworks we went for a drink in a bar near the Theatre Royal and then headed home. <br />
We stopped briefly in Gateshead to see the Millenium bridge and the Sage. <br />

It's a good thing to do on Boxing Day as we're ready for a change of scene after a few days of Christmas food and activities and a good walk. It is usually very cold there in the winter and today was no exception. It was misty as we walked up there and the sun was trying very hard to break through. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/992.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_992.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Luckily when we got there it did brighten and the sun was shining. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/993.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_993.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />We went in the course side rather than the grandstand side which I like better as it is less crowded but you don't get many facilities (just the hut which has toilets and drinks - it used to be the 'smoky hut' before smoking was banned which was good at keeping other smells at bay). I put my bets on online rather than with the bookies. We didn't win but it was a good afternoon with a great atmosphere. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/994.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_994.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/995.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_995.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/996.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_996.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/997.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_997.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/998.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_998.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/999.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_999.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/1000.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_1000.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/26/1001.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/26/s_1001.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='158' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-40703449845176556462013-12-12T20:53:00.001+00:002013-12-12T20:53:51.448+00:00Edinburgh Christmas Lights Edinburgh Christmas Lights<br />Princes Street Gardens<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/12/909.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/12/s_909.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/12/910.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/12/s_910.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/12/911.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/12/s_911.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/12/912.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/12/s_912.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/12/913.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/12/s_913.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-84308051951933932602013-12-07T21:01:00.001+00:002013-12-07T21:01:06.145+00:00Barter Books, AlnwickBarter Books is a brilliant second hand bookshop in Alnwick. It's in the old station and is fantastic. There are lots of books, miniature railway, open fires, places to sit, a cafe in the waiting room. Quirkiness and efficient friendly service. I bought to penguin 40s crime books. It's well worth a visit. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/07/963.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/07/s_963.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/07/972.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/07/s_972.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/12/07/983.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/12/07/s_983.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-30969357908462080012013-11-12T21:03:00.001+00:002013-11-12T21:03:00.219+00:00Illuminate YorkLight Festival at York<br />York Minster - it was impressive seeing the Minster without seats (pews).

I visit quite often as it's an important place. <br />Today there was a Lego model of the cathedral and you could buy a brick for £1. I contributed a £1 for a green brick which is part of a window in the Galilee Chapel. <br />It's a good idea to use Lego as part of a fundraising initiative as it's appealing to a large audience especially in a slightly unexpected context. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/19/1297.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/19/s_1297.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/19/1298.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/19/s_1298.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/19/1299.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/19/s_1299.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/19/1300.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/19/s_1300.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-85211946295100491232013-07-29T17:41:00.001+01:002013-07-29T17:41:28.307+01:00Latitude FestivalLast year we holidayed in Suffolk and saw posters and signs for the Latitude Festival. We jokingly said that we should go the following year and then gradually over the months we decided that we should definitely do it, check it off our bucket lists. <br />I'd not really been camping before apart from once in France as a teenager - it doesn't appeal and I like my bed and bath. So we booked a podpad (a little hut) situated within the pink moon campsite. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/29/784.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/29/s_784.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It was a beautiful part of the park with old trees. The toilets and showers were surprisingly good so that was a relief :)<br />We arrived on the Thursday evening and the weather was good. We explored a bit but didn't go to the main site. <br />Friday morning was sunny and hot so we went to explore - I was surprised how big the whole festival site was, much bigger than I had expected. Lots of 'shops' and bars and cafes. The security was very good and the organisation in general. <br />In the arena area there were a variety of venues - the main stage and grassed viewing area, the Radio 6 tent stage, a comedy tent, a cabaret tent, literature tent, poetry tent etc. There was a waterfront stage where we watched dancing and various stages in the woods. It was picturesque in parts and awesome in others. <br />We saw a variety of performances and although planned a bit we also just meandered and watched whatever was happening. Some of the highlights were ALT-J, Bobby Womack, Chvrches, Marcus Brigstock, Robin Ince, Nina Conti, Germaine Greer etc etc <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/29/785.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/29/s_785.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/29/786.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/29/s_786.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/29/787.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/29/s_787.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />There was a wide variety of people there of all ages and everyone was considerate and well behaved. It helped that we were on a smaller part of the site but even in the big arenas it was all good. <br />We took food and a camping cooker thing but I'm not sure that I would bother if doing it again apart from stuff for breakfast (tinned peaches and digestive biscuits). We found a great pizza place. There was free tea and coffee at the podpad reception which was very much appreciated. <br />The only thing was that my phone broke, just wouldn't charge so I lost some of the photos that I took the first couple of days. <br />Also no wifi but that's probably good as forces you to disconnect and chill out. <br />It was a great experience....I'm not sure whether I would do it again but I'd definitely recommend it. <br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-47547643408514075642013-06-10T21:59:00.001+01:002013-06-10T21:59:04.348+01:00AquilegiasAquilegias are some of my favourite flowers and I have quite a few in my garden.

There are loads of places open and I plan an itinerary and route beforehand. (My friends humour me with this as you do need to pack in as many places as possible) <br />This year our first stop was the Hancock Museum (Great North Museum). There was an Indian theme and we made bracelets, watched dancing and ate samosas. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1677.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1677.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The most exciting part was getting our hands henna'd. I've wanted to do this for a while so was pleased. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1678.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1678.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Next stop was the City Library which had a beach theme. <br />(Impressive modern library which is worth a visit at any time). The best part was the seagull racing which we really enjoyed. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1710.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1710.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1679.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1679.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Then onto the Laing Gallery - jungle theme and we made exotic flowers from sticks and plastic bags. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1680.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1680.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1681.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1681.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1682.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1682.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We had a brief rest in the cafe and a glass of wine to revive us then onward. <br />Next stop was Commercial Union house which is being let out as art spaces and was full of weird and wonderful installations and people. There were 6 floors of stuff so we started at the top and worked down. <br />Some exhibits were better than others - this is Geoff looking quizzically at a variety of items....<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1711.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1711.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />There was a room where you could make 'pictures' from Lea and Perrins!!

The balaclavas. It was supposed to be that you wore one of the balaclavas, wrote an I Love You message which would be posted to Facebook (or something along those lines). <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1687.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1687.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Anyhow the artists seemed to be worn out by the time we got there at 10.45 so we asked if we could try the balaclavas and take our own photos.....<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1688.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1688.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/05/20/1689.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/05/20/s_1689.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />It was very funny and bizarre and a great thing to do with friends. <br />It was now 11.00pm and we were cultured out so started to head back to the car. <br />But one last stop at Quilliam Brothers Tea Rooms - open 11.00 - 1.00pm - tea and cake. A perfect end to our Late Shows. <br />I would recommend it to anyone and encourage you to support it. <br />claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-49526770291635745212013-05-11T21:41:00.004+01:002013-05-11T21:42:33.170+01:00Looking Glass Books October 2012(This post is one I've transferred from another blog so not in correct date order)<br />
<br />
Looking Glass Books is my favourite tea and cake place in Edinburgh so far. It's at Simpson Loan and I walk past it on the way to and from work. It is a book shop and cafe and has beautiful books, shelves, tables and especially the purple seats. <br />

<br />
The tea is good with a wide choice although I tend to always go for earl grey. I haven't quite sussed how to lift out the tea leaf holder from the pot to stop it getting too strong but I'll persevere. The cakes are good especially the chocolate mint slice. <br />
It's a very interesting and peaceful place to stop and sit and read. The staff are helpful and the service is excellent. <br />

<br />
(This is a post transferred from another blog so not in correct date order)<br />
Hendersons is a famous vegetarian restaurant in Edinburgh. I'd heard about it so when Geoff and I were on a day visit to the city before I moved up we decided to go there.<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/10/06/2027.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/10/06/s_2027.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center>
<br />
It is quite trendy in a bohemian, arty way. The food is self service from the counter style. <br />
I had stuffed aubergine which was very nice. I'm not very good at working out what all the ingredients or component parts are of vegetarian dishes but it was delicious and quite filling. <br />
<br />

<br />
We have also been to the Hendersons at St Johns on Lothian Road. We went there for lunch and had haggis and clapshot. Clapshot is potato and turnip. The haggis was very spicy and obviously vegetarian. <br />
<br />

<br />
I have also been once on my own to the main restaurant - its the sort of place that you can go on your own and read your book or the paper without feeling odd. claire donlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695631584523346182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057018837882268773.post-7210116472448383122013-05-11T21:35:00.001+01:002013-05-11T21:36:32.110+01:00Cafe Gourmand 18/10/2012<div>
(This post is one I've transferred from another of my blogs so not in date order)</div>
Cafe Gourmand is on Nicholson Street in Edinburgh. I have been there twice with my son T2. We picked it as a neutral location, busy but not conspicuous which fulfills our remit. <br />
The staff are very helpful and efficient which is a major plus point. The cafe is quite small but popular. The food is excellent. There is a wide choice of crepes both savoury and sweet. I very much like the bacon and maple syrup one. T2 usually has soup then Croque Monsieur then chocolate cake. <br />
Definitely one to recommend. <br />
