We live right next to the Union Canal in Edinburgh.

On Sundays in Spring and Summer the Canal Society hire out boats in the afternoon.

We hired one today, and although the weather wasn't great today the sun shone the entire time.

A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Afterwards we walked along the canal into town.

Had coffee and cake at the bakehouse in Victoria Street. I've walked passed many a time dying to go in, but it's not practical with a buggy.

Today we managed and it was really worth the wait. Excellent baking and vintage styling.
