Uploader's Comments

Gorgeously bright spring day (although a little cooler than last weekend, with a gentle, cooling breeze, fine in the sun, little too cold in the shade though). I went down to Portobello (Edinburgh's beach) for a walk along a very busy Promenade - loads of folks enjoying the Prom and the beach. Before walking to the Daldriada (pub right on the Promenade, sit in beer garden with drink looking over the beach - fab!) I passed the recently erected volleyball nets on the beach and they were getting lots of use today!
