A while ago I signed up for Bike&Go, a scheme which allows you to rent bikes outside train stations. On my first trip, we cycled the short distance to The Milk Barn, a local dairy where you can buy homemade ice cream. On my second trip, we’d planned to go to Linlithgow, a town about… Continue reading I made it to Linlithgow!
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
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: 1. Visiting Croatia! We spent a week on… Continue reading New things I tried in May
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
Last weekend I did something I’d never done before: I watched a football match. I think it’s fair to say that I’ve never even watched one on TV before. I’ve been in rooms with TVs on which matches have been playing, but I would have been looking at my phone or reading a book, or… Continue reading Stenhousemuir vs Brechin City
Last month I tried writing a round up for the first time, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. It worked, I liked writing it, and I think it fits nicely with my Trying New Things posts, so I’m doing it again this month. Without any further ado, here’s my April round up: Financial… Continue reading April round up

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
There is a bar in Falkirk called The Wine Library. I know. It’s a miracle I ever go anywhere else, right? Mostly that happens because they’re quite a specialist wine bar and it turns out that if you actually know your stuff about wines most bottles end up being more than £15 and I’m just… Continue reading Opening of The Gin Lounge, Falkirk
I’m not a great cyclist. 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
