Porty People and Places

Perfect day for a beach run.

I have work commitments today that run on into the evening hence an early Blip. 

This early morning dog walker was enjoying the space and the quietness. He told me that he had cycled to North Berwick and back yesterday evening and his legs were in need of a gentle jog on the sands to help them recover!  

He avoids the beach in the afternoon, on days like this, when it becomes hard to see the sand for bodies enjoying Costa del Porty and even harder to see the sands in the evening because, "they cannot be bothered to take away all the litter that they have no problem bringing  with them down to  the sands!"

Yesterday, I wondered, as I drove into town for meetings, why Portobello High Street was so busy and why there were two camera crews and umpteen professional Blippers scurrying away. 

I had just missed the Nicola Sturgeon and her General  Election Road Show hitting Edinburgh East. I suspect I won't be seeing David Cameron doing something similar - he seems to prefer spending time in Cornwall!

Who needs Cornwall when the sunshines in Portobello!!!
