If you do, I'm sad to say, It simply isn't so. You will never get away from me.

As chloris perfectly pointed out, no one but I will know that any of this is out of order. Still, for my own sanity I’ll have a go at continuing. I must still have a look over my Castle entry as there’s something in there causing an error. I’ll plough ahead now though. When last I left you, I’d visited the Farmers’ Market, then had a good book-buying interlude followed by a leisurely, rather posh, and consequently overpriced ‘afternoon tea’ in the Tower Restaurant at the Scottish National Museum, causing me to be kicked out rather unceremoniously at five – closing time – and necessitating an additional museum added to my list of – go back later. Both the Portrait Gallery and the National Museum feature free admission, making this a viable option. Right across from the museum is Greyfriar’s Kirkyard. Perfect. As you will notice soon if you haven’t already, cemeteries are a draw for me, the light was beautiful, and there was no rain threatening to deluge my camera.

If you live around here, you need lots of panache.

Though it was Easter Sunday, the internet assured me the Stockbridge Farmers’ Market was taking place as scheduled, so – after making the belated realization that there was no bus until Noon-ish – I walked into Stockbridge.

On the way I encountered some picturesque sorts of things.
