Every month I set myself the challeng of trying 5 new things. They can be big things like visiting a country for the first time, or small things like trying a new app or a new type of food. Even so, to find 5 every month can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, and… Continue reading Favourite new things I tried in 2017

If you think things have been quiet on the blog lately, you’re right. Everything got super busy in the middle of September and then I had to take a short trip to Munich for Oktoberfest and I’m just now catching up. Yes, you read that right. Oktoberfest in Munich is indeed in September. I don’t… Continue reading Oktoberfest!
As usual, this month I’ve been 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. This month I’ve tried: Visiting Arran This Easter we visited the Isle… Continue reading New things I tried in April
Easter kind of crept up on my this year. Or maybe it was just April that crept up on me. The year seems to be flying by. Anyway, the Monday before the Easter weekend, P and I realised that we both had Easter Monday off work (I also had Good Friday off but I’m trying… Continue reading Visit to Arran

I basically didn’t do it at all between the ages of 12 and 25, at which point P decided that this would not stand and during a trip to Aviemore, hand my cycling up and down the garden, on the grass, to remind me how it was done. They might… Continue reading Cycling along the Union Canal to The Bridge 49 Cafe
Last weekend when we woke up on Sunday (late, but not that late really, because of daylight savings) it was gloriously sunny outside. So, we took the opportunity to try out two things. 1. Bike and Go and 2. The Milk Barn When we lived in Glasgow I made occasional use of the bike rental… Continue reading It was sunny! So we cycled to The Milk Barn
Sunday was sunny. Allow me to impress upon you how unexpected that was: Sunday was 19th March, Monday was 20th March and the first day of Spring, on Tuesday 21st of March it snowed. In this part of Scotland, we seize any sunshine we get with both hands. Now we haven’t actually lived in this… Continue reading Visit to the Callendar Estate, Falkirk
This is part of the series of trying new things. Every month I challenge myself to try new things, however big or small those things may be. Sometimes it’ll just be a TV show or a recipe, sometimes it’ll be an event or an activity. Anything could happen. Then, I list five things I tried… Continue reading New things I tried in November
During our Brussels trip, we visited a famous landmark and one which surely must appeal to many geeks and nerds like us and must attract them from miles around – The Atomium. Isn’t that cool? The Atomium is a 102 meter tall model of an iron crystal. Such a crystal would need to be magnified… Continue reading The Atomium
