…interestingly enough it’s almost oppose the Volley famously name checked in the film

Got a free bucket hat and some flyers from the film showing in Leith on Friday

Went there for the first time yesterday and noticed this. Quite fitting as it’s in the vicinity of where Renton gets hit by the car at the start of the if the film.

Apologies if shared already

Stumbled upon this from a couple of years ago when I was going through the photos on my phone.

One of my mates found this book that belonged to his late father when he was going through his belongings. Being a fellow Leither he sent me these pictures.

We didn’t start (legally!) drinking in Leith until the early/mid 90s but a lot of these pubs were still on the go then. Not so much now sadly.

Some great pubs in that list. Wild to think that in Leith and its surrounding area there was 104 pubs.

I thought I’d share as it might bring back some happy memories for others.

I took this last week ironically when I was feeling it a bit and I was in my way to a counselling appointment.

I didn’t realise until recently that bit at the West End is called Hope Street. I always knew it as the old Frasers where back in the day it was a popular meeting point.

It’s amazing what you don’t notice.

We’ve got this

Seen it on my way home the other day. Quite a decent effort I’d say

I’m not sure if it’s the way my phone has picked it up but there didn’t seem to be as much blue on Noel when I took the picture!

Number one was to do at least 10,000 steps a day

The other was then to try and beat my target from the previous day

Managed to keep the minimum criteria going for 13 straight days. Not too down about it ending.

We go again

This is mine from the Scotland and England game at Hampden a couple of years ago.

Loads of the Young Team scaled a fence to get in only got one of them to get caught in the process

It ended up being the highlight of the game

Big fan of clearing the heid with a trip down Newhaven harbour. There’s some stunning views that are good for the soul

Seen this down at Newhaven. I’m not sure how many people you can get living on a bollard. Decent school catchment right enough, handy for the tram stop too. Apart from that…

And then I wondered how long it will take for that to happen

Had a bit of a life admin day on Sunday so didn’t go out as much to walk as I would have liked.

Never mind. Started again yesterday. Was close if I’d make it but went for a stroll down a local harbour, got the steps in and took in the sights

We go again

First time I’ve seen them. Won’t be the last
