Days Off

What do you do on your days off?

We had an wonderful afternoon last Tuesday at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh an excellent garden in the Middle of Edinburgh. Not only that but most of it is free to get into. Unfortunately we were too late to see everything and will have to return to see the rest including the Hot Houses (admission fee).

The reason we were there was a lecture to launch and exhibition by a photographer called Mark Edwards called Hard Rain. It turned out be be a very disturbing evening. Hard Rain is a collection of Photographs depicting the environmental plight of the planet set to the words from the Bob Dylan Song "Hard Rain" Take a look at the Website http://www.hardrainproject.com to see for yourself what it is all about. We did not learn anything new ourselves but to have it brought home to use once again is making us rethink our lives. We hope that you will look at the website and think what you can do!
