COOL BREEZES
A lovely sunny warm day
followed by cool breezes.
What’s not to love?
Walking around Edinburgh
with so much to observe and enjoy.

Dalry Colonies…a quiet oasis in the City… old stone built properties.. history in every stone…trees.. and trailing honeysuckle… surprise sunflowers reaching above the garden wall to greet passing people with their bright yellow sunshine faces. Loraine Haugh
EDINBURGH
This is the city
I live in,
quite impressive
don’t you think?
To say I’ve
roamed around
plenty,
this town
comes out
fairly healthy.
By the sea
and hilly,
it always keeps
me rambling,
round and round
this lovely city.

LOVELY DAY
A lovely day
sunny and warm,
followed by cool breezes.
What’s not to love,
walking around Edinburgh
with fabulous people.
So much
to observe and enjoy.
Just slow down,
be in the moment.
We are here for now
and then our souls will fly.

You’d like this place,
you always did like signs of regeneration, sensitive development.
The views are good: the hill, the stadium, transport links,
signs of Edinburgh adapting to future needs.
You’d probably have known about it before me;
you were always good at finding unusual routes.
Not always successful, I’d like to remind you - getting lost, scratched, soaked,
back much later than expected.
You’d have had your grumbles too - graffiti, some of the design,
you’d have thought you knew better!

We finished off together with refreshments on the Lochrin Belle canal boat.
And thank you to Sandy for guiding us. As one participant said “I was pleasantly surprised how good it was to write spontaneously on a walk.”
We can read more of Sandy’s work on her instagram that links to creative projects and the website. @sandybennetthaber
