Two worlds collide

This is Ranald and Charlotte working in the rain outside a warm and cozy Starbucks.

They live off the land for the rest of the week (Charlotte fills the pot with rabbits and pheasant) and come into town on Friday and Saturday to make some money to buy dog biscuits for Charlotte and some books for Ranald. He showed me the collection he has on the go at the moment which ranges from the Qu'ran through to Kidnapped. He also has a couple of notebooks into which he writes stories about the drunks he encounters on the streets of Edinburgh at the weekends, some of whom are nice and some not so nice apparently. He has contacts at The Guardian and hopes of getting them published in the future, so beware next time you're on the lash in Edinburgh - Ranald may be watching you.
