Welcome To South Queensferry: Our New Home!
Finally, after the absolute riot that 2020 has been, something good happened in our lives. We bought a house! An actual, real, brick house.

A Festive Photo Friday: Christmas In Edinburgh
And just like that, it's December!

50 Photos To Make You Want To Visit Edinburgh
I'm not going to lie... I've been really lacking motivation recently. Not just for the blog, but for virtually everything in my life. I thought I was okay. I could see light at the end of the tunnel, and I still can, but it feels like we're wading through treacle trying to get there. I've… Continue reading 50 Photos To Make You Want To Visit Edinburgh
15 Quirky & Unique Places To Eat & Drink In Edinburgh

2019: My Year In Review
2019 has been all about the next huge step of our lives. It's been about accepting the end of long-term travel adventures and embracing the new adventure of finding our forever home. For us, it was always going to be Edinburgh. We've been low-key planning to move to Edinburgh for pretty much the past decade… Continue reading 2019: My Year In Review
Beltane Fire Festival: A Unique Experience In Edinburgh
The first time I heard of Beltane Fire Festival, whenever that was, I knew I needed to go. It sounded crazy, fun, and most of all, unique. So when we moved to Edinburgh, Beltane went straight onto my list of things I needed to do this year. The thing is, I had no idea what… Continue reading Beltane Fire Festival: A Unique Experience In Edinburgh
