Yesterday I went for a wander down the Canongate in Edinburgh with mater; we discovered a wonderful recreation of a seventeenth century knot garden down a Dunbar Close. Amazing the things you just wander past!

I also went to the Grey Ladies Bookshop, which was full of fascinating and lovely things, though I confined myself to a book of Canadian Girl Guide songs, and Josephine Elder's Lady of Letters.

On another note entirely, if you haven't seen this, you may be amused (regardless of your political leaning, I hope):
