Back street Portobello ...

... taken on the way to a Fracking Information Meeting in Portobello Town Hall this afternoon.

The meeting was, initially, very well attended and was on a subject of enormous importance to us all.

But sadly, the technology of presentation  and the death by powerpoint got the better of us and we walked out after one and three quarter hours of repetitive presentation which failed to engage the audience and denied us  the promised audience participation.

I do hope that something as VITAL as this to us all is re-packaged and re presented soon before it is too late for us to have our voices heard.

The walk home along the beach was bracing with the northerly wind making its presence keenly felt and whipping the Forth into a frothy 
forment.

We spent the morning in the company of our road's most senior resident and it was a privilege to hear all his tales of life in our neighbourhood over the last seven decades.
