#Out and about

MOISTLY. 

Elizabeth Brown didn't hold back in Issue 364 about the horrors of artificial flowers on high streets.

We were therefore relieved over the weekend to note that the vast majority of Broughton Street shops, pubs, eateries and services are using the real thing to beautify their premises.

Starting at the top of the street, Frenchie sets the tone …

Gone but not forgotten.

Whilst most of us will have welcomed today’s early drenching, spare a thought for the owner of this 3-wheeled curiosity spotted on Cochran Terrace.

Half car, half tubo, it’s a 620 cc Pembleton Super SP and – contrary to its antique appearance – was assembled from kit as recently as 2014.

We think it’s the same vehicle advertised for sale in Southampton earlier this summer, but it's certainly the same one lovingly recorded here 2 years ago.

On climbing the steps to a crowded Old Town in full Festival heat and clamour … 

the devil is in the detail.

Today's evening spectacle was of course interesting to serious astronomers and general gawpers at the heavens alike.

But it was also a pleasingly social event.

Calton Hill was rammed: a chattering, laughing and marvelling super-spreader event enjoyed by all.

We witnessed locals lending eclipse-specs to passing strangers from a bench in Mansfield Place. Smiles all round.

Travelling in style.
