Just two weeks until Christmas now, and I’ve still got plenty of Christmassy content to go! Malory Towers on TV: The Christmas Specials and Enid Blyton’s Christmas Stories then and now part 7 Probably not news to anyone who’s read … Continue reading

We are firmly in December now, and have just had a decent snowfall. Our weekends have been filled with Christmas activities, though I am yet to finish my Christmas shopping. November round up and Enid Blyton’s Christmas stories then and … Continue reading

I see the Monday number creep up every week (or occasionally every other week when I miss one) but I don’t really pay attention other than making sure the last digit is one higher. Somehow I noticed it this week … Continue reading

After last week’s little step into Christmas I’ve decided to just make the leap right into Christmas. The Christmas playlist has been downloaded from Spotify – and played, a Christmas movie has been watched on Netflix… but I really need … Continue reading

I’ve decided just to give in and embrace Christmas, not that I took much persuading. Obviously I’ve started my posts about Christmas Stories, but on Sunday we also visited a Christmas shop (and Brodie persuaded us we needed a new … Continue reading

My big Christmas blogging project gets underway this week. It’s a little early (though perfectly allowable seeing as it’s November), but I anticipate it will take at least the 7 weeks (!!) we have left until Christmas. My similar series … Continue reading

We are enjoying a break in the rain today, though it is really rather cold, and also dark as the clocks went back at the weekend. Wednesday is the start of November, and the return of the rain. October round … Continue reading

We had a few days away last week – returning just before the weather turned truly nasty – which is why there were no posts. But it’s back to the regularly scheduled content this week. I’m starting to think about … Continue reading

It has been a very soggy weekend for most of us in Scotland. Lots of disruption due to flooded roads and railway lines. Luckily I was able to stay home mostly, and read while listening to the rain battering off … Continue reading

We are on the first post of October now. September’s mini heat-wave is a thing of the past, and the heating is on now! Brodie and I are on to Five Go to Smuggler’s Top now, my favourite book ever, … Continue reading

Monday posts feel a bit repetitive at the moment. I did think about taking a break from the Secret Island and doing something else, but I think I should try and keep up the momentum and get on with it. … Continue reading

Despite sometimes struggling with the concept of time passing I do know that it is Tuesday, not Monday. I caught another nasty viral thing last week (hence the missing post) and I’m just getting back on track now. I have … Continue reading

Our Indian Summer has come, with a mini September heatwave which is honestly hotter than most of July or August was. I’m not ready for autumn or winter yet, so I’m not wishing away this bit of sunshine even it … Continue reading

Welcome to your weekly dose of me being shocked at the passage of time, and complaining about the weather. It is the end of August already. How? The weather has not improved and now I think we can safely say … Continue reading

Guilty admission of the week – I wrote part one of my Secret Island review having only read about three pages, plus flicking through to check a few details. I will have to get reading this week as I don’t … Continue reading

Brodie turned six at the weekend (where does the time go??) and we have been reading Five on a Treasure Island for the past few bedtimes. He is currently convinced that the Five will find the gold on the wreck … Continue reading

July is almost over already, and unfortunately it has been a bit of a wash-out weather-wise. Good for the river levels, not so good for getting out and doing things. We did some sheltering from rain in libraries this week … Continue reading

It’s Monday night, it’s 11 o’clock, this is Top of the Pops the post I should have written last night and posted this morning. School holidays are still in full swing, we have been visiting the libraries to collect stamps … Continue reading
