The author explained:-“My blog’s called Jemma Eat World (because my name’s Jemma, I like food, and I like the band Jimmy Eat World; brilliant, I know) and it’s a foodie blog. Usually I focus on small, new, and unusual places around the city as well as commenting on general things that are going on in Edinburgh too.”

I’m proud to wear my dark blue coat edged with red (the regimental colours of the Royal Artillery) decorated on either side with my stripes and the gold embroidered badge of the One O’Clock Gun & Time Ball Association.

The Edinburgh Old Town Cryer keeps its readers up to date with some news of the area. Their self-description is as follows:-

Hi this blog does not necessary reflect all the thoughts and feelings of the Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust.

The Trust was set up in 2009 in response to residents wanting a voice in the Old Town and to take positive action in creating and architecting our own developments from small pieces of action to ultimately owning our own assets. Every resident or small business owner is welcome to join but so are all those that love the Old Town of Edinburgh and can see beyond its potential as a “night time economy or tourist destination”

Nadine Pierce is EatingEdinburgh and says that since starting her blog she has put on a stone….. Anyway, next time we meet her we are going to take her for a walk rather than a coffee and cake…. 🙂

Here is what Nadine says about herself:-

“So you want to know a little about me? I’m a 30(something) country lass, originally from North Devon, who’s found herself turned semi ‘city slicker’ in Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful cities in the World. (just a shame about the weather!)

I work hard and play hard too which often results in eating out in some of Edinburgh’s many great restaurants, bars and cafés. Having a passion for Global cuisine as well as writing I’ve decided to blog about the places I visit and give a candid review from a ‘Joe Public’ perspective.

Come Dine With Me (& some of my friends) and I hope you’ll enjoy it!”
