Currie Ride

Currie Ride this morning, 44 horses and riders set off from Currie Green to the Pentlands to mark Currie's historic boundaries before returning to the Riccarton Arms for well earned refreshments. After some ceremonial formalities involving all 3 local Councillors, David McLetchie and Alistair Darling MP, we adjourned to the Weavers Knowe pub for coffee and initial negotiations about setting up a Labour/SNP/Tory coalition on the Council ! Back in the real world, I've got to head out and take down our election lamp post posters. No rest for a beaten candidate !
