'And finally, not everyone’s being doing topical. In fact, here’s the rather lovely 6 Oxgangs Avenue devoted to the history of the development of the area, this week highlighting how the block of flats came into being. Could have been prompted by Who do you think you are? Or just a timely reminder that not everything worth blogging about is in the here and now.'

In the Season of the Year - An Oxgangs Diary 1971-2021

In the Season of the Year - An Oxgangs Diary 1971-2021 consists of a compilation of extracts from the series of seasonal On This Oxgangs Day books. For each day of the calendar year there is at least one selected post covering the half century between 1971 and 2021 featuring a diary extract relating to Oxgangs.
The diaries begin in boyhood in 1971 with a Letts Schoolboys Diary purchased - or was it stolen(!) - from Baird’s Newsagent’s, Morningside Drive through to the more extended journals of 2021, with the author now a retired old man.
