Audrey Smith 6/8 Oxgangs Street
Although there wasn’t much improvement
in the weather Boo-Boo; Les; Ali; Iain and a few others went up to the
Craigies. After wandering on to the golf course we got chased again by the
tractor man. It’s probably one of the reasons for going up there so we weren't
disappointed; when he comes after you it gives you a hell of a buzz.
I might be quick and not carrying my diary but on the open ground he quickly closes the gap until you can hit the cover and safety of the gorse and heather. Bloody great fun!
I have to say it's braw being up on Craiglockhart Hill. It's always a good adventure and a healthy way to spend part of the day. It's a nice spot and we can all get up there pretty quickly especially compared to going to the Pentlands; it's almost like part-time hill walking.
After my tea we put on a massive Singles tournament with dozens of boys 'n girls’ out. It was brilliant fun; I ended up winning it - the last man to be hunted down. Despite the weather and the pouring rain I have to say it was great to be out 'n about all day. The summer hols are the highlight of the Oxgangs year. Yes Christmas is braw but it's self-contained whereas the six weeks off Burrie seem to stretch out in my world and imagination for ever.
