Was going to transplant some rhubarb today, but the ground’s still hard from last night’s frost. Weather report says tonight will get to -2 in Edinburgh.
Not too worried about the rhubarb as Joy Larkom reckons mid- to late Winter is the best time to transplant.
18 Saughton Mains, no more! 
is that sonya’s husband?
do you know who attacked and destroyed our hedge?? Then the cooncil came along and cut down the lovely ash tree- perch for many birds includng long-tailed tits, a sparrowhawk, bluetits, wrens, wood pigeons,robin, crows, the odd magpie and my dear friend, charlie the young blackbird- who incidentally, was born in the afore-mentioned (now destroyed) hedge. It was definitely another plot-holder who did that- all makes me feel a bit creepy and vulnerable!
Anyway, nice to come across you, and I will try to take the time to read your blog on the edinburgh does suck .com

Hi Kaitie, I’m Alex at 18 saughton mains (near to the main entrance). Pop round and say hello sometime!
What a shame about the hedge or tree – it sounds like they were wonderful resources.
