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’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Yeah yeah, I know it’s still November but the Edinburgh Christmas market has now opened and there are stalls right outside the office. Christmas lights are up in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk and I have already done a whole bunch of my Christmas shopping, even if I… Continue reading November roundup
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
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
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
Financial status: Better than you’d imagine from a person who now technically doesn’t have a job, but not exactly adding to my savings either. Mostly wearing: Very casual clothes. I’m in some weird annual leave/unemployed limbo until 17th July. It’s amazing. Mostly eating: Entirely too much. What with leaving do’s, catching up with old friends, and graduating I… Continue reading June roundup
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
I love Indian food. In Glasgow, I used to live very close to India Quay, for my money the best Indian restaurant in the city, but certainly in the top 3. Since I lived so close by, I was often there, either dining in the restaurant or picking up a takeaway. However, even the proximity of a… Continue reading Takeaway: Noor’s, Falkirk
I don’t often order Chinese food. Mostly this is because P doesn’t like it, and we tend to share meals. This means that, should he be away for an evening, I’m often tempted to take the opportunity and get a takeaway, without feeling guilty that there’s nothing on the menu that he’ll like. This happened… Continue reading Takeaway: Canton Chinese, Falkirk
