Grassmarket, Edinburgh

I’ve just come back from Edinburgh, so I’m going to interrupt the Greek holiday pictures to post my Edinburgh Festival sketches. This was drawn while waiting for teenage children to join me for lunch. I love Edinburgh, it is so much more beautiful than I imagined before I first visited it, three years ago. This part is full of interesting little shops and cafés. Flo spotted an old school teacher of hers wandering down the street and thrust a flyer for her show in his hands. I overheard him say to his wife as they left a vintage clothes shop ‘Y’know, I think all those clothes were secondhand’.
