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...

On a journey south and a delightful deceit… things I’ve learned lately

February 17, 2019 By Ellen

Write a post every day, she said (to herself, cos no one else cares). Let’s see how that goes then! And here we are a week later, but it’s been a good – and educational week. Here are the things I learned. The long way round still gets you there… (Also known as, confusingly, only […]

Why I love getting the sleeper

April 25, 2018 By Ellen

  My favourite way to travel to London is by sleeper train. It gives me a sense of how Harry Potter felt when he pushed his trunk and owl-laden trolley into the other world of platform 9 3/4. Instead of being pursued by a vast bearded man on an enchanted motorbike though, I just need […]

My week in shoes

September 12, 2016 By Ellen

I rather enjoyed Last Year’s Girl’s take on her busy week. Probably more than her, as it seems like it was a little traumatic. Anyhow, it gave me the notion to do something similar. At the mercy of ScotRail a couple of times a week hasn’t turned out too badly. Although flat and comfy shoes […]

On busyness and the adventures of Spikey Mikey

August 25, 2016 By Ellen

And there we are, back to the hustle and bustle of term and it’s associated activity. Rushing about, trying to remember all the things and briefly tutting at the mess of matters requiring attention. That and looking for stuff and repeating myself. It is so familiar. I’ve spent decades like this – dashing and writing […]
