Edinburgh in the rain

Start the day dodging the traffic warden, yes he is in full flight in this street trying to nip cunning old WADDA for a few quid in parking fines. Not to be so l have relocated the vehicle away from this nasty man, I hope. We gather in dribs&drabs out the front of Haymarket hotel and begin to implement our plans for today, set off to see the Edinburgh castle in fairly chilly conditions. With the wind at our backs we enjoy the brisk 2 kms walk, through a city that looks tired and a touch grubby but we continue. Our arrival at the castle the wind has turned for the worst it's now officially freezing, by jumping from one doorway to the next we remain out of theses terrible conditions. Well a few hours into this castle haunting we declare a lunch break, and head to the Ensign Ewart hotel to refuel the boiler. WADDA notices there is a hot toddy on the drinks list, i take this opportunity to sample some of Scotland's finest whisky. The tasting experts from Australia declared it devine ,with the lunch break over we brace the elements once again. WADDA has a plan for this shitty old day so he offers to take his precious grandchildren home out of this terrible weather, an offer they readily accept. As we ride home in style in a black cab I smile to myself and think this is livin.......WADDA
