274 & 268: a majestic scene
274 & 268: a majestic scene

Like guests arriving at a party it felt like the door bell rang.....it's 268. I was rather surprised to notice the driver getting out and bringing his own camera out too to photograph it alongside me.

And then as we gracefully chatted (he had nothing to do for another half an hour at least) I spotted another one crossing the junction at Saughtonhall and just look at this shot. Is that not just beautiful?

What a rare opportunity to get a pair of Alexander Royales in the evening of their lives like this. We all know that sometimes we can be dreadfully unlucky with our photography and then, like a dream, this happens - on the middle of the Corstorphine Road. Fantastic!

Remember that scene in The Sound of Music when Julie Andrews
kissed the floor? I wanted to kiss the ground here! This was a moment in time I'll never forget....time for a second macaroon bar.
