Time waits for no man......




It was Sunday 24th January when we took this wee trip to Liberton Dams/Hermitage of Braids. There had been an awful lot of rain, the most rainful I remember for many years particularly at this time of year and there had been a lot on the news about areas in the UK being flooded.  This is a place where my parents used to take us for walks when we were kids.  The last time I took a walk along here was one Easter time during holidays a few years ago, with my youngest sister and our kids.

We got so far along the walk where we found a rocky area and a man made rope swing presumably done by the kids of that area,  What caught my eye was the different colours in the rock.
