Another month has come and gone and I need to sit back and ask myself what I’ve been doing with my time. I must have been doing something with it, goodness knows its gone by fast enough. Falkirk Fireworks: Bonfire night can be hit and miss and as the crowds grow safety measures increase (meaning… Continue reading New things I tried in November ’17
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
Yes, I know I’m a bit late with this. September kind of ran away with me, I’m afraid, so I’ve not been anywhere near as organised as I usually am. Anyway, nevermind. As usual, I’m looking back on the month now to see what new things I tried. Here’s my list: Oktoberfest! Despite the name,… Continue reading New things I tried in September
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
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
I love a good Farmers’ Market. I posted about the one in Partick not long ago and I kind of have plans to visit as many as I can, although, admittedly, not plans that I’ve worked very hard to put into action. I knew that Falkirk had a Farmer’s market and, as a local, I… Continue reading Falkirk Farmers’ Market
