Water of Leith Conservation Trust:
Sunday 14th December. Clean-up. Balerno. 10am – 12.30pm. Meet at Currie Rugby Club car park in Balerno. Take the 1st left after Balerno High School off Bridge road onto Bavelaw Road. Take the next left off Bavelaw Road. As before, we provide all the equipment just wear sensible warm outdoor clothes that you don’t mind getting mucky, walking boots / wellies and bring waterproofs just in case.
I would love to do this but have no means of getting out to Balerno and back except by public transport.

There’s a pair of mute swans on the Water of Leith that have been hatching a bevy there for years: this year there are seven cygnets swimming with their parents. (You can see the photos I took last year here.)

I don’t really know what to say about this sequence of posts. I just keep noticing furniture in the street, that’s all. I could try to say something clever and political about our consumerist society and the politics of waste, or something clever and artistic about how soft furnishings contrast with concrete and stone. But mostly, I just want to share with you these pictures of chairs and sofas, left in the street. Or, in this particular instance, the river.
