I pottered catching up on photos this morning and then had lunch at a vegetarian place I had read about. They had a vegetarian version of haggis – could have been yesterday’s left overs put though the mincer. They served it with clapshot which they said was potato and turnip. I looked it up and it is a traditional Orkney recipe so they must have got their own version in Durham.
I walked to Holyrood Park – between Holyrood Palace and the new Parliament building. There were a lot of people. It was the welcoming ceremony for the World Duathlon championships. I dodged through a few barriers and set off up the hill. Someone said it was the biggest urban park in Europe. It has got a variety of landscapes – a bit like Scotland – hills, crags, marches, glens, loch, grasslands. I walked up , then slogged up a long steep path of stairs to the top – Arthur’s Seat. Amazing views. I came down a much easier way – ah well, Bus back and afternoon tea – I thought I had earned a piece of cake.
