In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Things that learned from cycling 60 miles

September 20, 2015 By Ellen

A bit of a hill should never be dismissed. When someone who is only truly happy in mountains describes it thus, be a little scared. Age is no barrier. The ride was to celebrate a 60th, but many of the members of the Penrith Peloton had pedalled past that milestone some time ago, just as […]

Welcome To Night Vale – a strange night in Glasgow

September 17, 2015 By Ellen

Sober on a Wednesday night I was in Glasgow’s Old Fruitmarket with, among others, adults with animal heads, very overgrown scouts and my eldest son. It’s nearly Boy One’s 16th birthday and one of the things he wanted was to see the Welcome To Night Vale live show. And so we did. He rolled his […]

August 16, 2015 By Ellen

Doing something silly at Mugstock

August 12, 2015 By Ellen

I’ve never been to a festival. There. I’ve confessed. Not one. Most folk have some heroic tales of Glastonburys past or T in the Parks they can’t even remember, but they were there. I’m not sure how I’ve missed out but I have. Probably something to do with an aversion to chemical loos and having […]
