Living in a small Borders Scottish town is mistakenly thought of as being an insular experience, but truth is you will be exposed to the most exotic exquisite pie combos you can ever dream of.

Today I managed to see a stairwell I’d been stalking for some time. Like an ominous nightmare designed by Escher, the light even made my camera uneasy . Colour scheme: lava floor, Orwellian grey and soiled bandage combo walls with a dried blood go-faster trim stripe.

Southside Edinburgh. Next to the most horrible stairwell I’ve ever encountered was this gleaming beauty to make any tenement dweller proud. Terrazzo flooring, window light out to shared garden, the ubiquitous pushbike and a blood red/cream colour way. Perfection
