Picnic at Porty

Like I said, we've had some gorgeous weather of late here in Edinburgh. Stan got it into his head to have a picnic at the beach. He wanted to experiment on me before he chanced experimenting on friends, so the two of us hopped on the #26 bus for the 20-minute ride out to Portobello (Porty) beach the other day. We nabbed a good spot on the sand and set up shop. This was our view...
Stan had prepped everything beforehand. These were the provisions.A bottle of wine went into a plastic Pellegrino bottle since glass isn't allowed on the beach.And Stan fired up the wee portable grill which he bought at the Tesco for £2.Twenty or thirty relaxing moments later, and shooing off a seagull or two, we had lunch. It was a total success! Next time we'll invite friends for sure - this worked! And OMG was it delicious. Home-made potato salad and garlic-marinated cheese-burgers on gluten free buns from Sugar Daddy's Gluten Free Bakery. YUM!
     After lunch, we cleaned up and headed down the boardwalk. We came across this bizarre sight.Yes, that is a piano on the beach. Crazy! And it ended up being a prelude to the second half of our afternoon. Coming soon...
