Long day today, and now encamped in sunny Bury !!! for a couple of days with work to do here.Set off at 2.30 p.m on the bus into Edinburgh, where I got off at St Andrew's Square - the Demonstrators are still camping in the gardens and now have a music stand up so it looks like a concert is in the offing - hope the neighbours apply for a rates rebate.
Princess Street Gardens have also been taken over again by the "show folk", so if you want a birds eye view of the City on the Ferris wheel, or a shot on the helter skelter, that's the place to go. No problems for pedestrians as the tram works have rendered the street impassable to motor vehicles - if and when they appear (out of storage at Gogar) they might be antiques.
Next stop Edinburgh Waverly Station for the train to Manchester - three and a half hours - but time flew by, although we had about seven stops en route.
Into Manchester Piccadilly Station and made my way to the metro link station in Piccadilly Gardens to get a tram to Bury - however a young local lad, John, kept me right as I was in for a long wait and took me to the next tram station where we had the choice of trams, even so we had to change at Victoria - but once on our way the trip up to Bury was remarkably quick and smooth - despite the fact they were older rolling stock - thanks to John for keeping me right, nice lad and very interested ( and knowledgeable) in Freemasonry.
I would presume that there are some unhappy bunnies in Glasgow today as those "diddies" at Ibrox dropped another three points - poor show.
