Hi folks! As I draft this, yet another bank is going under, but as this is becoming a regular occurrence people aren’t paying quite as much attention.

Eating, travelling and studies about our towns
Apologies for the late arrival of this month’s non-political round-up, but here it is, finally, in all its bloggy glory……  And we kick off with a food review by Carine Seitz which, to the shame of an editor somewhere in Edinburgh, never made it to print, but which is a must-read for food-lovers across […]
