Eeeeek. Went up Glencoe in a cable car today. Warm, sunny, with a cooling breeze. I enjoyed dangling my feet over the edge when I’d got over the shock of being suspended hundreds of feet up. The third pic is of a higher cable car run being repaired for winter before you ask. 😄



Just made these chocolate chip biscuit beauties. Super simple. Super scrum. I wanted to make thin biscuits this time because I do like a bit of crunch. There were a fair few more on this rack not so long ago. Oops (and nom).

Oh how the birdies love monkey nuts. Some kind soul sprinkled these about and boy did the birds feast on them. I’m pretty sure that pigeon had indigestion after being so greedy!
Oh my. Troon, Scotland. Best beach ever! I’m full of joy after a looong week of stress and uncertainty about whether mum’s house sale would even happen. It was so close to falling through. Just a matter of hours. Talk about drama. Talk about emotion.
That was on Thursday. Today it’s Saturday and we have gratitude in our hearts. Because the house down south finally sold in the nick of time and she made the long journey up here to her new one. One that she’d never even seen before. One she trusted us to choose for her. And she loves it! Woohoo! (thank goodness).
After mum’s epic road trip up north, I’m elated she’s finally here. So is she. It was a brave step for her to take and I’m so proud. What a gutsy woman! And we managed to choose her the cutest bungalow in the most gorgeous seaside toon with the friendliest neighbours. Feeling blessed and a bit giddy with love.
It’s amazing how much you can pack into two days!
🥳





This kind of day never happens to me. I spent the day arguing calmly and firmly with two solicitors who were so pigheaded, they could not believe I was in the right. They huffed and they puffed but by the day’s end, they agreed with me and are making right their shambolic mess.🙄
Walter the French Bulldog has a video that got me laughing but then this remixed song made about Walter took me to a whole new level. I’m still humming his shiny, tail wagging tune right now. “Ai ai ai, ai ai, ai ai, ai ai….” 🎶
Being in the heart of the city means I don’t see green expanse everyday. Pollock Country Park (20 mins away) made me feel nature again. It’s lush, wild and tendered with care. A river runs through it too. Voted the best park in times past, it has a passionate group of fans.



I give you The Apple Strudel! Rather lovely indeed. Christmas aromas. Light and juicy. Crispy and golden. Paired with clotted cream, it’s a dream.


I do love a bit of Simon’s Cat.
