Scallop

Dropped in at the Leith market to pick up some cheese and meat and drop off some surplus veg with Stewart B. Then we walked all the way to Portobello, past the crematorium and the sewage plant and along the beach. The big busk was going on, the length of the promenade, with crowds of people strolling along listening. Bumped into several folk we knew, inc Joan who we hadn't seen for ages. Hmm, at the time we were there the busk seemed to be lots of rather aimless guitar strumming and few performers displaying much in the way of energy (although blipper Almond was surprised at the number of harpists - we didn't see one!). In fact we walked all the way to Joppa before getting a bus back, but never managed to find an ice-cream that didn't involve a 20 person queue.
