320/365 geocaching – finding hidden treasure

November 17, 2013 By Ellen

  Today’s adventure took us across the river into deepest Dumbartonshire. Geocaching. I’ve been passingly interested in geocaching since my brother – a cartography nerd – suggested it years ago. That was long before you could get an app for anything, let alone one that encorporates navigation, photography and a social network. So when Fionaoutdoors […]

319/365 My earliest memories

November 16, 2013 By Ellen

I remember learning that if you cut an apple the other way, you get a star I would love to report that my first memory is something significant – poignant, exciting or somehow casting a shadow on the rest.Only, it isn’t. I could make something up, of course. Perhaps witnessing something alarming or meeting someone […]

In praise of Lego and the things I’ve learned

November 15, 2013 By Ellen

Years ago, I had no idea Lego would become such a large part of my life. I’d have laughed if you suggested it. Now, though, it’s everywhere – and I don’t just mean in the dust bit of the vacuum cleaner.  Pay attention to first impressions. My first memory of Lego was on a visit […]

316/365 If only we lived in a snow globe land

November 13, 2013 By Ellen

Or how some days I’d gladly swap my children for half a box of Quality Street and ten minute’s peace with a week-old copy of the Radio Times… Look at their smiley little faces – all happy to meet Santa and excited about Christmas. Thanks to the team at the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow […]

315/365 What’s your favourite season?

November 12, 2013 By Ellen

  If autumn or winter could guarantee blue-clear skies and sharp air then that would be my favourite season However, not long after snapping the Kelpies at the Falkirk Helix, on a bike ride with Super Sister I’d had a puncture, it was spitting with rain and the route was less clearly defined. My favourite […]

314/365 Time is a tricky bastard

November 11, 2013 By Ellen

Do you feel like you get enough of what you need to keep your heart/soul happy? Er, no.What I need – or believe I need, being aware that these things shift like smoke – is more time. Or at least the right kind of time. Me time – but with the contentment to relish it rather […]
