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

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

Somehow it’s July! June seems to have gone by very fast, and now it’s the school holidays. This week we are going to sign up for the library’s summer reading challenge and we are going to try to visit all … Continue reading

It doesn’t happen all that often but there is Enid Blyton related news this week! The BBC have announced a new Famous Five adaptation which, apparently, is already being filmed! There will be 3 90 minute episodes and it will … Continue reading

After a week of glorious sunshine today we’ve had a lot of much-needed rain and some thunderstorms – a natural consequence of all the heat. Letters to Enid 31 and Enid Blyton’s Holiday Stories then and now, part 10 I … Continue reading

We are experiencing a bit of a heatwave in Scotland this week – that’ll teach me to complain about cold weather! Where I am it has also coincided with a major bus strike, so Sunday service on every route and … Continue reading

We have just slipped into June and Stef has headed home now, but we had a great week together. The sun shone (mostly) and we made it to five different beaches and almost as many cafes. We also made a … Continue reading
Monday #529
Nothing coming up this week as Stef is visiting for the first time in three years! Hopefully we will do some things that will spark some new blog ideas. We will be visiting St Andrews – we always do – … Continue reading
