Wandering up to Bruntsfield on Thursday, with the sun shining (strangely) - I thought the sight of Arthur's seat was very nice, but having looked at the photo I realised that there were a number of people playing "pitch and putt" on Bruntsfield Links. This little two club course was gifted to the people of Edinburgh many years ago - clubs are obtained from the adjacent Golf Tavern at a nominal rental. Nice way to pass an hour or so on a sunny day. The Barclay's bicycles, I took in London a couple of weeks ago - but just think of the chaos these bikes would do to our futuristic 1 km tram line along Princes Street. I believe that some of the new trams have already been sold off to other Cities - we just need to know what our Beloved City fathers plan to do next -bearing in mind that £700 million has been quoted to bring the line from the airport to St Andrew's Square - BUT what about all the works that were done allegedly in preparation down Leith Walk , etc.
And a real oldie, found this snap of my Godmother, Mrs Alexander, taken about 1959, who used to live at the end of Musselburgh race course. She was a well known breeder of Dalmatian dogs and a regular judge at Crufts Dog Show when she was fit and able.
