The Challenge

'Hi, Gary and I have just signed up for Loch Ness Marathon its on World Cerebral Palsy Day we're going to do it for Amber, fancy it?' Three things you should know 1) The above was said in a phone call from my sister Cheryl who is famous for signing up for races and not…

Infidelity

Apologies for the intentional clickbait,  Mr and I are still happily married and completely faithful to each other, however, I do have a confession to make... I have been cheating... On this abandoned little space of the internet with a younger, cuter, speedier model.  Instagram. [hangs head in shame] If you don't follow me on…

2018 – Season Finale

With only 20 posts This year, I think its safe to say I slacked a bit when it comes to keeping the blog up to date, however, it was quite the year, maybe even the best one yet... 2018 was the year of spontaneous decisions which led to me getting married.. The first part of…

The Wedding Diaries – Wedding Eve & Morning

The day before the wedding day was the first time I actually felt nervous or anxious.  Thankfully, it was nothing a phone call to my little sister and chief bridesmaid couldn't sort out. After a quick call to her I was left excited for the wedding eve celebrations. With the exception of painting my Mums nails and…

Travel Adventures • Tartaruga

My Italian is sparse. In fact, I could probably limit it completely to: formal pleasantries, well known Italian food and drink options and luxury shoe designers.   I suppose, it is a little ignorant to visit a place without learning much of the native tongue but part of my love of traveling is learning new words and personally I find Italians so…

The Wedding Diaries – The Dress

Mr and I just decided in January that we would get married this summer.  From my extensive bridesmaid experience I already knew that a wedding dress can take roughly 6 months to arrive, leaving me with little time to find 'the one'. By early February I had secured an appointment at a local wedding dress…

Anti-Advice From Aunt Fatty — Fatty McCupcakes

I was so incredibly blown away by the amount of suggestions I got from my last post (I really thought I’d get next to no responses). One of the suggestions I received touched on an idea that has been swirling in my brain for some time. It being suggested was the impetus to get this… via…

Great Scottish Run 2018- Support Runner

I first ran this race last year with my friend running her first half marathon, I was badly undertrained, I had been out late at a work leaving night the night before and it poured with rain from start to finish. This year was a little different...   again, I ran with a friend running her first half…

The thing About Me…

Until today if you clicked About Me at the top of my page you would have found this post... Bucket Lists are something I imagined you only think about near the end, like in the movie starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. My life currently is nowhere near where I thought it would be at…

Fresh Start

It's merely a month since Mr and I were saying our 'I do's' and already the wedding day is fading fast from my memory.  I am hoping we receive our official photographs soon so that I can relive the day through the images.  Ironic really, considering I wasn't even going to book a professional photographer. I have been…
