Yes it's nice to reminisce, I found the older I get the more I seemed to 'go back' if you get my drift! It must be an age thing! Good to hear about No. 13. Don't suppose I'll hear about others though.
If you click on the post sent by Bob Jefferson on 27.2.14 re Rosefield Street Party 08 you can have a look at the street as it was then. The great thing about this is that you can have a wee look at it again when you feel like it, oh yes it's good to reminisce again!
I remember you're family. You all attended St Johns Primary. I think you were the baby, William and your brothers & sisters were; Harry, Ann, Margaret, can't remember you're other brothers name was it Daniel? I think Harry had curly hair then. Anyway it was a long time ago. I remember your Dad kept you all 'toeing the line!.' Hope everyone is doing fine and you are too.
We haven't been back to the street for a long time now, but when we were there I found it surprising that there were so many cars parked and it looked narrower, probably to do with all the cars! It must be difficult for the residents parking. When we lived there not so many neighbours had cars they all just took the bus up to town. You said No. 11 was boarded up when you were there. On Bob Jefferson's post on 27.2.14 he said No.11 was demolished last year and is currently a vacant site. So now I'm thinking ... there could be a way to change Rosefield Street into a through road and that would be much easier for everyone. It could be made into a 20 zone; '20's plenty.' Perhaps a road could be made at the side of No 12 along the side of the Figgate burn and out onto Rosefield Place. Good idea, ehh!? Well probably no one would like this suggestion and Edinburgh Council wouldn't have the funds to implement this either. Well it's only a thought.
It was nice to reminisce again about all those years ago but things change and we all move on.
Health & Happiness to you all.
