Name Edna Glen Miller
Profession Theatrical landlady retired art teacher artist
How long Many, many ~, ears. Background I went to the Edinburgh Art College when l was 20 and aft0r graduation began teaching art at St Sevts but gave it up to have my kids. Years later I opened a look shop on Dundas Street called Scorpio. When that partnership endeti I began taking in lodgers and was nominated onto the Good 0195 Cit/IOU. I've been busy wrth lodgers ever Since.
Best thing about it I‘m continually meeting new people (who uSually bring whiskle and the house is busy. I get free tickets to all the shows — I've got a girl from Jekkyl 8 Hyde at the moment and two boys from Mamma Mia arrive next week
Worst thing People who do runners.
The song that best sums you up 'Falling in Love Again' Marlene Dietrich — it's my party piece.
Favourite thing to do in Edinburgh Shop for shoes, vrsit exhibitions and draw ~ I love to walk in Edinburgh.
