Talk Porty ~ Portobello

A quick check of their website shows that the Portobello Earthy "is now closed for a winter break. We plan to re-open the store in late Spring 2013 refreshed and rejuvenated".

I too hope to get to Portobello by 5.45.....!

Either of those dates and either lunch or evening are fine with me.

Same for me!

Poppy

Yup, I'm taking Voluntary Early Exit!

Poppy

Hi, ladies, I'm up for it too - and after 13 April, I can do nearly any day!

Poppy

It also seems to me, although legal matters aren't something I know much about, that any legal case would probably have to go to the Inner House of the Court of Session; a much more protected and costly process than going to the Sherrif Court. £80,000 seems on the optimistic side. I wonder if this ...

Poppy

Where's the Time Team then, Soup D?!

Poppy

Is it one of those bronze statues by the Angel of the North chappie that were placed along the Water of Leith. do you think?

Poppy

Leith already has its decorations up!

Obviously this was a bad suggestion. Apologies.

Poppy

Portobello Park is one of the most used in Edinburgh. I often cross the football bit on a Saturday afternoon and am frequently only one of a couple of people there and sometimes the only person in sight - and that's on nice warm sunny days. The other parks in Edinburgh must have tumble-weed blowing...

Here's a project to keep the photographers of Portobello occupied! And make good use of all the postcards that have been collected and scanned in the Local History bit of Talkporty [I'd do a link but I can't remember how to! :oops: ] http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/landscapes/regions/edinburghandeasts...

And wasn't it the local traders in Haddington that didn't want the town centre Tesco to close/move due to the knock-on trading it brought them? Yes, but on the other hand the Haddington Tesco is located in much the way the Portobello Scotmid is - behind the main street - whereas any store at the SP...

Poppy

Tsk, I'd forgotten it had a name that began with an M.

Poppy

Meadowfield?

[PoP: notice the "?" which I use, so really I'm only half-wrong!!!]

Poppy

Newhailes?

Dunno. Were we? There will be hell to pay if we weren't!

I saw the map briefly and yes Portobello was on it!

Poppy

They were coming off the Prom - but I'm not sure from which direction - and up Pittville Street and then, I think, along the High Street towards Seafield.

Poppy

Marya, I'll be keeping an eye on you all certainly!

Poppy

Sorry to be going, but the opportunity to have a house was too good to miss!

I'll still be about Portobello weekly as my father and my aunt are in "old folks" homes around here.

PS The names & addresses of the local Dunpender Community Council are freely available, I notice ................

Poppy

Official date is 22 June if you want to order the "Welcome" bunting, Thumper!

I'm looking forward to being an X6 commuter......

Poppy

Wangi, I'm off to East Linton. Taking on my dad's house as he's in a nursing home now!

Poppy

Hi Catz. Good to hear from you.

I'm only here in Portobello for a few more weeks as I'm off to East Lothian!!

Poppy

Felt smug at getting the right score, then came the second question and suddenly I didn't feel quite so smug!!

Poppy

Do any longstanding local residents remember a higher tide than the one we just had? I've often thought that memories ought to be a useful benchmark of extreme weather and perhaps climate change - and I'd have thought high tides would be something that people could remember quite accurately. Severa...

Don't be too judgemental. It's probably just a bit miffed after being washed up in the storm.

This seal? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8597542.stm

Poppy

Got any sandbags, wangi????

Poppy

Plenty wine too, Marya, I trust!!

Poppy

Same here. I think Marya's candle and torch idea might be worth considering!

Poppy

I thought about it but I doubt I could have kept the camera steady (or myself upright) enough in the wind - and the bad light and the driving rain and spray presented a problem too! I tried to open a window to take pictures [couldn't see through the glass!], but the force of the wind made it all a b...

Edinburgh & the Lothians are bright red on the Met Office Weather Warning Map http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/dg/dg_forecast_warnings.html?day=1 The sea is huge this afternnon - high tide has past but the waves are still rolling right up to the wall and over it in some places.
