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...

Chop chop – a sinful treat for the greedy and idle

November 23, 2015 By Ellen

Gluttony and sloth. My two favourite deadly sins.  I’d become a bit concerned lately that eating out – a treat that should be as sinful as possible – was getting increasingly virtuous. Out with the family recently we’ve found ourselves in the kind of buffety restaurants where people can choose the stuff they really want […]

Another first that wasn’t on the list

November 17, 2015 By Ellen

This post comes to you from the SSE Hydro where I was waiting for an Imagine Dragons’ gig to start – and then finish. It’s another first – parent of a concert-goer too young to go on their own. There are many firsts – words, steps, booze cupboard breeches – you anticipate. But others, like […]

Centre Stage: Who will you nominate for night of laughter?

August 16, 2015 By Ellen

Win an amazing treat ‘thank you’ evening in Glasgow. If you had to pick someone out for a special treat, who would it be? Everyone knows someone special – someone who goes above and beyond for them. It could be a neighbour who came to the rescue, a friend who knew just when to drop by, […]

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 […]
