October has been busy in the very best of ways. September was all about surviving the transition back to school and Neil and the girls recovering from Covid, whereas in contrast we’ve squeezed a LOT of fun things into the last thirty-one days. I really enjoyed October this year – I’m not usually a fan…
Back in June 2021, after spending the first part of Whitsun half term in Edinburgh, we were invited to spend a few days at Cameron Lodges on the shores of Loch Lomond in western Scotland. We were really impressed with our whole experience there: everything from the 5* luxury accommodation; to the superb resort facilities;…
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…

We usually head south to our happy place in Cornwall for our family holidays. At the start of June we headed north instead, on a week-long mini Scottish road trip of two halves: first to explore the beautiful city of Edinburgh for four days; then on to Loch Lomond for the final three days. It…
