Gatecrashing Edinburgh’s exclusive New Club (Rousse)
MB’s mother IB and I blagged our way into Edinburgh’s exclusive New Club and cantered up the stairs to the top floor. With very little effort, we then gatecrashed a lunch served to a small group of delegates who had … Continue reading

Horse riding on a Berwickshire beach (Rousse)
AW and I rode from Edinburgh to the Berwickshire coast. We risked our lives – and those of our horses – travelling along the busy A1. At the end of our journey, AW struggled to persuade her mount to clamber … Continue reading

Fake retiree organist outed by the press (Rousse)
All the shops on Edinburgh’s Broughton Street opened late to cater for Festival visitors. I felt particularly sorry for the staff at Crombies, still dressed in their white butchery outfits at 9pm. Nevertheless, my father-in-law and I took advantage of … Continue reading

Edinburgh Fringe misery (Rousse)
Encouraged by favourable reviews from 2024, I felt foolish to have bought tickets for this truly dreadful Edinburgh Fringe show one year later. My miserable face on the audience selfie distributed after the show said it all.
Illegal immigrant civil engineer offers advice for an ample bosom (Rousse)
Had I been a couple of feet closer to the passageway, the man who emerged backwards carrying a long rake could have decapitated me. I should have paid more attention when I first saw the broom and hosepipe stacked up … Continue reading

An aeroplane exit and an Edinburgh Fringe entry (Rousse)
I paid attention as the air steward ran through the safety announcement. The instructions had changed. In an emergency, we were to exit through the roof of the plane. The route was through small marked holes in the ceiling. We … Continue reading

Axe-wielding climate change protesters damage personal property (Rousse)
I ran back to the train carriage just in time to collect my forgotten belongings. A few seconds later, and the cleaners would have scooped up everything for disposal. Out of the station and onto the Edinburgh streets, I ran … Continue reading
A home in the Pentland Hills and a bad tempered husband (Rousse)
High in the Pentland Hills, we moved to a lovely large bungalow with beautiful views of the city of Edinburgh in the distance. The one drawback was that our new house was underneath a pylon and several criss-crossing electricity cables. … Continue reading
A view of Edinburgh Castle and a cat in the dentist’s car seat (Rousse)
TPR and I didn’t miss the city when we moved to the outskirts of Edinburgh. Our house was a luxurious new-build with an extraordinary number of bathrooms. From a thin window on the top floor, we could see in the … Continue reading
