TESCO, BROUGHTON ROAD
Can't understand it.
Fruit and veg supplies are rarely reliable, but other departments never seem to be out of stock.

YESTERDAY IN St GILES'
Wonderful light.
'He either fears his fate too much/Or his deserts are small,/Who dares not put it to the touch/To win or lose it all.'
James Graham, 1sst Marquess of Montrose (1612–5-).
FOOD FOR FREE
There may not be a massive variety, but Edinburgh offers plenty of ‘food for free’, to use a term popularised by Richard Mabey in his 1972 book on foraging.
In the autumn, Blackberries are ubiquitous along paths and on hillsides.
In the spring, shady and damp conditions such as those found along the Water of Leith walkway are ideal for wild garlic (Allium ursinum), whose unmistakeable and pungent aroma fills the air here.
BROUGHTON STREET BIRTHDAY PARTY
Hands-on approach to fine art. Paolozzi would have been delighted.
