If you’re in search of a show for all the family this year – then you’re in luck – Shrek the Musical has well and truly landed at the Edinburgh Playhouse. With humour, romance, and tap dancing – it really has all the boxes ticked. We were lucky to be invited to […]
I love a bargain as much as the next person – and there’s no doubt that Black Friday has gone to a whole new level this year. In fact, it seems to have lasted a whole fortnight. But in my heart of hearts, I love my local area and today […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I took part in Little Paper Swan’s #autumnhashtagchallenge. I really liked having a bit more of a direction to follow with my photos, and it was equally lovely to see how other people interpreted the theme. As a new hashtag […]
What books are you reading at the moment? I’ve continued trying my best to reach my total of 52 books this year but having only read 27 books so far this year I’m seriously lagging behind! Whilst I don’t count children’s books in my total, we’ve also been reading plenty […]

It’s always difficult to know whether my opinion is going to be shared by others. What if something is actually marmite? With festival reviews, I always try to look at the rest of the audience as well. Are they laughing? Are the children settled and happy? Has anyone walked out?! With […]
With ears adorning her head and a striking polka dot dress, the human version of Minnie Mouse is once again spinning disks at the Edinburgh Fringe. If you’re ready for a good workout – dancing like crazy with a mixture of music appealing to the young and old – Monski […]
On Wednesday we kicked our Edinburgh Festival experience with Nick Cope’s Family Song Book.
