Fall approaching the Blackford Hill. Jesen sa plizi ku Blackford Vrsku.

A bit of a preserved old staircase, revealing a "trip step," the equivalent of a modern day burglar alarm. Kus stareho schodiska - vsimnite si 2. schodik je to "podkynaci schodik" ktory sluzil ako chytak pre zlodejov.


Over 100 years old 8m tall hedge! Vyse storocny 8 metrovy zivy plot!
The gate to the Royal Botanic Garden. Brana do Botanickej Zahrady.

This is taken from Blackford Hill about 25 min walk from our place looking toward the Edinburgh Castle. I live in the part closer to the centre with less trees. Toto som fotila z jedneho kopca asi 25 min od nas smerom ku hradu. My byvame v tej casti blizsie ku stredu mesta kde je uz menej stromov.
My room. Moja izba.
The view from our front door. We are fortunate to have a lovely main floor - Victorian style flat. The area is full of students, it's nice to get lost among them sometimes.
Vyhlad zo dveri. Mame velmi pekny Viktoriansky byt na prizemii. A tato oblast je plna studentov, je celkom mile sa medzi nimi niekedy stratit.
My street. Moja ulica.
Beach. Plaz.
Really cool bike racks! With the Arthur's Seat Park in the background Can't wait to bring my hikers and go walking around there.

Super odlkadace na bicykle! V pozadi je "Arturovo Sidlo" Park. Uz sa neviem dockat ked si prinesiem turisticke topanky a vyjdem si tam na prechadzku.

Celia in action. Celia v akcii.
Lunchtime. Obed.




Celia, Arif and Erin contemplating the incredible spring! Celia, Arif a Erin v zamysleni.
Karst spring hike. Amazing! This is just a few meters from the source. The water rushes from beneath a giant rock at incredible speed - see how white the water is! Karst spring turicka. Uzasne! Tato fotka je len zopar metrov od zaciatku pramena. Voda sa vali z popod obrovskeho brala nesmiernou rychlostou - vidno aka je biela.

After the snow melted. It's quite unbelievable that they were fine under the snow for about a week or so. This is April 9th? Potom ako sa roztopil sneh. Neuveritelne, ze boli pod snehom asi tyzden.

Radka, basting the turkey. Radka, navlhcuje morku.


Stuffing Lillydale. Hmm, ako sa to len povie. No, prave pcham nadievku do morky (Lillydale je morkova firma).


Preparing the turkey for tomorow's Easter dinner. Chystanie morky na zajtrajsi Velkonocny obed.


Crocuses under snow. They have been covered for a few days now. I am curious to see what happened to them. April 7. Krokusy pod snehom. Uz su tam niekolko dni, som zvedava ze co sa s nimi stalo.
