Life is too short to visit the same restaurant every time, even if there’s nothing wrong with having favourites. This year I’ve been lucky enough to visit some absolute gems, some of which I admit to having been to more than once, and which I’m likely to keep returning to over and over. My absolute… Continue reading Favourite restaurants visited in 2017
It didn’t take us long after arriving in Falkirk before we found The Artisan Tap. I had worried that leaving Finnieston in Glasgow would mean I wouldn’t be able to get hipster-ish delights but here was a pub, proudly calling itself artisanal, with a fridge stocked full of craft ales, great pizza and, through the… Continue reading The Thirsty Cow, Falkirk
What would November be without Bonfire night? I feel like if we didn’t have Bonfire night and Halloween to look forward to then Autumn would be pretty depressing. Honestly, we could do with an extra holiday as well, maybe something that combines the best aspects of Harvest festivals and Thanksgiving but less American and right… Continue reading Falkirk Fireworks
During our very first visit to Falkirk, before we decided for sure that we would move here, we visited a tapas restaurant called La Banca. Apart from slightly overly salty squid, the food was pretty good and the restaurant was one I planned to return to. Even so, it hadn’t been very busy and I… Continue reading Dinner at Bukharah Falkirk
You may remember that a few months ago I saw my first ever football match. We’d decided, on moving to Falkirk, that we’d like to support a small local team and had settled on Stenhousemuir. Sadly, the first match we attended was a deciding one, and on losing it (to Brechin City) Stenhousemuir were relegated.… Continue reading Stenhousemuir vs Berwick Rangers
A few weeks ago P and I went for a cycle along the Union Canal in Falkirk and decided to take a detour into Canada Wood. Quite aside from that being a terrible idea (oh my god the hills. I do not do hills.) we did stumble across a new pub/restaurant place that I immediately… Continue reading Dinner at Canada Wood Kitchen, Falkirk
It was 26th August 2016 that we got the keys to our little flat in Falkirk. We didn’t fully move in right away, we handed the keys for our old flat back on 11th September, having spent the weeks in between moving all of our stuff. Even once we had moved in the place didn’t… Continue reading One year in Falkirk
August went by far too quickly (and was surprisingly cold and rainy). Here’s hoping for a more relaxed and warmer September. Financial status: I’m still making up for a few weeks of not being employed in between jobs but things are looking up. Mostly wearing: Suits and smart things at work, pyjamas the minute I get home… Continue reading August Roundup
We might not have planned it exactly, but having spent a slightly drizzly day wandering around Falkirk’s shops, I ended up buying a gorgeous dress from a lovely independent boutique called Quest, and I needed an excuse to wear it, so, even though it was a drizzly Sunday, we decided to give Sanam Tandoori a… Continue reading Dinner at Sanam Tandoori, Falkirk
As usual, last month I was going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. In July I tried: 1. Working as a trainee patent attorney I started working… Continue reading New things I tried in July
