I often say to myself that I really don’t need another plant but then I seem to find myself with another plant. I would say I’m entirely to blame but the various plant shops of Edinburgh really don’t make it easy and my kids are really not a good influence. […]
We could not be happier that Edinburgh theatre is still alive, and continuing to keep Christmas going. Kate recently reviewed Beauty and the Beast at the Playhouse – and all being well – we hope to bring you some more reviews this month! But we thought it would be a […]
I am in no doubt that being able to swim is a necessary life skill. Personally, I rank it up there with learning to read or do simple maths. Even before tragic stories fill our headlines in the summer months – if you have children with a thirst for adventure […]
