Hello.
Here at Midlothian Madam some changes have been made to the site, simply for a wee revamp and to brighten up a bit.
​
That has been a good few years now, with articles about pot holes to events locally. Vast, with variety is the aim.
​
As spring approaches and the lighter nights arrive this can offer us a boost in mood and make us feel all summery....maybe day dreaming of garden furniture.
For 2024, more articles, reflections and hopefully more local stuff!
​
Best,
M.M.
