They scare me a bit as it is often difficult to manoeuvre around them.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341202594941781572.post-39178769394770025412014-02-09T20:22:40.467+00:002014-02-09T20:22:40.467+00:00I get tripods and martians...what's a triffid?...I get tripods and martians...what's a triffid???

Donald Trump and his golf course are the subject of lively debate in the North East of Scotland.<br />We have a large Primark in Edinburgh - but every time I pass it's so packed with shoppers that I can't face the scrum. Its big paper shopping bags are pretty noticeable around town on a Saturday afternoon.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341202594941781572.post-56929215428633871862014-01-22T02:18:01.157+00:002014-01-22T02:18:01.157+00:00We have new streetcars (trams) that they are test-...We have new streetcars (trams) that they are test-driving here and they could right by my place but I have yet to see one.

They featured Donald Trumps 747 and followed him around as he was flown to Aberdeen and then a figure 8 fly by over the golf course and then back to London and on to New York. I felt so good getting to see even the airport and a bit of Scotland through the program. I am still so thankful I got to visit there once - each year it becomes longer and longer ago!! BUT I still get to 'visit' through your blog!! And yesterday I wore a jacket I bought at Primart!! Love that jacket and loved the store!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.com
