Valentines is always pretty low key for us, my man doesn’t really go in for organised romance. A nice meal at home with a good bottle of wine is the normal plan. Oh and if I’m lucky a beautiful bunch of roses delivered to work, this year it’s a Saturday so I think I’m outa luck on the roses. I have been trying to convince … Continue reading You’ll Be My Valentine, Valentine
Something a little bit different today but if you follow me on Instagram or facebook you may have noticed I have been slightly obsessed with this book recently. I was given it by a friend who read it in two days. I didn’t quite mange that but did devour it in a week. It’s written in diary entries, the go to style of writing just … Continue reading The Girl on the Train
Last night I popped along to the the West End’s Botanic gardens for a little preview of The Electric Gardens, thank you for the invite Roz. The gardens are beautiful all year round whether they be dusted with snow, like today, or bathed in sunshine. They play a central part in the West End Festival each summer. The Electric Gardens are a move to extend … Continue reading Electric Avenue
So as you all know I turned 30 a few weeks ago. 30 is one of those scary ages, mainly because I always thought I’d be a proper grown up with my life in order by the time I got to that age. Turns out life doesn’t often work as you imagine. There’s a lot of things I haven’t got round to doing. I fell … Continue reading Everything Is Changing, I’ve been Here for too Long
Indeed it did not, we had an absolute ball. What better way to say goodbye to your roaring twenties than to party like Jay Gatsby. Having never had a party before (and most likely never have one again) I thought I might as well go all out. After a little browse on Pinterest I had plenty of inspiration. I spent the few days before my … Continue reading A Little Party Never Killed Nobody
Yip tomorrow I turn the big 3 – 0! I know scary thought! Now believe me when I say having a birthday on NYE is pretty rubbish. Even more so in Scotland as we have big celebrations for Hogmany. I know what your thinking that should be great right? Wrong. I’ve never had a proper party because of the stupid date and in general everyone … Continue reading It’s My Birthday, It’s My Birthday
That’s me finally sorted. All the presents wrapped, last minute essentials purchased and food already to go in the oven. Even Seb’s ready with his new antlers. I’m feeling particularly excited this year as I’m hosting Christmas dinner. I’m looking forward to having a full table of family and friends, let’s just hope I don’t ruin the food. Hope you all have a lovely christmas! … Continue reading Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Reindeer Jumper – Fairisle Jumper – Holly Jumper – Dear Santa Jumper Today it’s Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper day. I’ve not got round to getting a new one this year so I’m recycling last year’s. These are my favs for this year. The H&M one is top of my list but I think I might have to fight my sister for it. The … Continue reading And So This is Christmas
I had a sneaky little early finish from work one day last week so took the opportunity to start my christmas shopping. I’ll never be one of these people that has everything organised weeks in advance for two reasons. Firstly I always have other things to organise with a bunch of birthdays throughout September, October an November. Secondly, I just don’t think christmas should start … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a lot like
This was pretty much the perfect day. The kinda day you work your ass off all year for. After a long lie and big Scottish breakfast we headed to the beach. Oh and what a gorgeous beach it was, we may not have the warmth in Scotland but we do have the beauty. Lossiemouth beach is nestled on a beautiful green forrest so lucky Seb … Continue reading We Gotta Live For These Days
