These days I am leaving the Passat at home, using the bus in preference as it goes in on the green lanes into Edinburgh. Apart from the fact that half of them appear to be dug up at the moment, and they only start half way along Calder Road.

The big wonder I have at the moment is how next week is going to Pan out with the various G8 related “celebrations” going on in the middle of Edinburgh. The bus that I get normally terminates in Waterloo Place, which is the other end of Princes Street, the main place to go up and down if you are going to have a March.

It will all be interesting, I’ll keep an eye on the television in the evening to watch the festivities.
