A while back I wrote a post about Colin creating a new piece of work for the Cupar Arts Festival based on the pioneering balloon flight by the 18th century Italian balloonist Vincenzo Lunardi. I also wrote about our first experience of hot air ballooning here. Well the past few months have been very hectic […]

I spent a really lovely weekend in Derby visiting my wee bro Nickerless at his pub Bar One. The last time I was down was when the pub opened and this weekend they were holding a party as the pub was going to be 2! I can’t beleive two years have passed since I was […]

I went to the park with the dog the other day and it was really windy – I got hit on the head by several conkers and so decided to collect a load. They were just falling to the ground and bursting out of their shells – so lovely to watch!

I’m listing this item on my blog so folk on the Fife based freecycle network can see what’s on offer. This is a piece of furniture we inherited with the house when we bought it. I’ve been using it for the past year as a table for my sewing machine, but have just re-organised my […]

My hair has all been chopped off now and I’m feeling ever so light headed. It’s just the way I wanted it – shame the OH doesn’t like it…not at all!

Colin has been insulating the loft and fixing leaks in the roof recently and in the process has unearthed a few treasures. Firstly a roll of really old wallpaper with wacky flowers  on it  – very bright and bold and possible material for envelopes and notebook covers. Secondly a whole box of jam jars. These […]

My hair is a mess. If anyone can remember the 70s cartoon Crystal Tipps and Alistair then that’ll give you a good idea of the state it’s in. I get it trimmed every few months and then just let it do it’s thing.
