Photos

 I was at my course in Edinburgh ( week three, great lecturer, fellow students and the early career of Durer, who could ask for more) and took these photos-

Not Minceheim or Mordheim but Edinburgh just off the Canongate.
I have always liked this splendid museum sign for the Museum of Edinburgh 
Some purchases arrived yesterday by courier, just back in time thankfully…
Gifts for my daughters, perhaps to hold tea or even buttons in the years to come…
A couple of item for the household, yet another mug and a biscuit tin…

    That street/alley and the other building (museum) looks very Baltic.
    Had a tea caddy that shape that we used to keep chess pieces in. Later I kept my Minifigs odds and sods that had somehow escaped the great sell off in the 80s.

      Great use indeed for a tea caddy. I wonder what these will hold in the years to come…
      It was Baltic in the sense of temperature too. May has been soo cold so far…

    Have not been to Edinburgh in years, you are tempting me.
    I still have a tea caddy from the Royal Wedding of 1981, which I use for - tea, actually! Mixed with a generous pinch of irony..

      There was a royal wedding in 1981? Are you sure? Have you checked the 1984-esque Book Of Royalty from MiniTruth (the Ministry Of Truth)? This must be a “platinum jubbly” type misprint. Please return it to MiniTruth where our trainee special operative Mr Winston Smith will airbrush the erroneous date and object for you - Saving you needing to add a pinch of irony all the time / this weekend.

      We at MiniTruth have checked with the archives of the United ImagiNations and discovered that this 1981 must be a Jubbly typo for ‘1891’ and so refer one of the Duchy Of Tradgardland Royal Weddings. That must explain the anomaly - and save your precious stocks of iron-y. Surely a collectors piece itself?

    Edinburgh? That first picture is surely a muddled or mistaken insert from a visitors guide or tourist brochure of a Tradgardland?

    I think I have been up that close in the first image - mind you, I am sure there are quite a few that have a similar look in the Auld Toun area...
