i had no luck with finding a copy of the little book of prose poems... (which i've grown rather fond of and is something i know a few people would probably like too)... but i got ruth some lovely fudge from the The Fudge House of Edinburgh on the Royal Mile on the way back from the Scottish Poetry Library where i thought they might still sell the book! i even got myself a few for a treat and to share with f (who'll be visiting for the weekend)... it's terrible going down the Royal Mile... you feel like you ought to have won a million pounds in the lottery... so that you can buy yourself the nice little treats of sweeties, truffles, chocs and whatnots, scottish tweed, handmade woollys, drink all the Chocolate from Plaisir du Chocolat (a place i don't seem destined to visit... for it's either shut early or i am in a hurry! sigh.) ... persuade a teddy at the Edinburgh Teddy Bear Co. to come home with you... or go into the 'secret garden' and find some peace from all the cobbled madness.... you could also enter another close and find yourself in a small alley with a view towards the spectacular Crags... indeed something appealling for the wanderer seeking a little procrastination...
