March

Well, May actually. It was the annual May (not Day) March, which started from the top of the Royal Mile then took an unexpected (to us) detour round Forrest Road and dived down Candlemaker Row to the Cowgate. We'd arrived a bit late having first popped in to the Farmers Market for this and that (mainly asparagus), but managed to join the Green contingent for part of the way. I'm sure I saw Scotland's youngest ever new MSP waving one of the banners. We peeled off and observed them from South Bridge.

We then popped in to see Stewart B and Megan C at the Leith Tardis , where we were happy to re-up with some of S's excellent cards and a new tote bag. First time I'd noticed an unassuming and somewhat faded Cigs just behind the box; it's evidently been fading since 2013.
