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.
