This Moment

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. […]

Beach Learnin’

They say every day is a school day…and so it used to be for me…now I am seeing more and more that it certainly is for our wee guy. Each day he seems to delight in a new idea, a new word, a new turn of phrase (today – ‘that’s more like it’) or a […]

In The Countryside…

Now that we have been here a few weeks we are finally settling in. Though it is still a pretty quiet affair in that Kazuo and I spend most of each day here at Newbridge while Akira slogs away at the University, and not too much of our days necessitate human contact with other adults…so […]

The local-ish delicacy is the Arbroath Smokie. They look like this: Kinda spooky, but amazingly tasty and smoky and even the little one is addicted. mmmmm

Tasty Treats and Wild White Washing

Since we arrived in the cooler climes of North East Fife, Kazuo and I have spent rather more time indoors than usual. This is partly climate-related, partly due to having to wait for my driving licence renewal (the tediousness of being mildly epileptic and having to rely on the doctor to say it is OK […]

Wardrobe Wednesday

After being woken by a probably very cold little guy at 5am this morning, I got up and initially put on loads of merino and trackies and thought I would hunker down for the day. Then I equivocated and got changed before we took Akira to work…I thought maybe I’d venture forth to Dundee for […]
