Loony Dook 2010

I went to this year’s "Loony Dook" at Queensferry where brave souls jumped into the Firth of Forth to wash out the old and in with the new for New Year’s day. It was a great day for it with the east coast covered in snow and they say about 3,000 folk down to see it with 800 jumping into the water.

All the best for 2010!

An amazing day in Edinburgh checking a few exhibitions. People were making the most of the good weather hanging about in the park. The light has been stunning with long shadows.

Garlic Scape

Garlic Scape

I bought these when I was at Loch Fyne Oyster shop (I was trying to find some crabs to draw). They’re the stalks of garlic which are taken off before they grow any further to allow the garlic bulbs to develop. Apparently you can slice them up and use these just like garlic, they also make a mighty fine pesto.
