There are those who support the idea that over use of social media piles more pressure on the already high expectations that young people have for themselves.  All those insta-snap-tweet-shares they do; the pouts, the poses and plates of perfect food, all awaiting validation via a thumbs-up, a wink, an emoji-heart.  Surely it’s not good … Continue reading Expectation

At least, that is my notion of it, … Continue reading Dare To Be Different

About my blog

I hope my online Edinburgh Press will, in time, hold a similar collection in words to that which is in my Edinburgh Press at home.  I will add to it as often as I can building a collection of memories and observations bubbling up from below, breaking the surface of my mind. I’ll send them out into the world where you can, if you want, share them. Welcome to My Edinburgh Press.
