I’m old! I went to London over the weekend and I am still recovering from that! As much as it has drained me, I would do it again – just not in the immediate future. The reason for my trip was to see the only live show that The Anchoress was performing for 2026, in…
It’s been a little hectic here of late. ‘Here’ being my humble abode, rather than the blog. Although I hope that you all enjoyed my recent interview with The Anchoress on the release of her new album, As We Once Were. In relation to that, I’ll be taking my first trip to London in almost…

It’s been a lovely first week away from not any longer stressing about uni studies and just being able to get out of bed when I want and CHILL. At this time of year I struggle to sleep well. Not because the weather is warm – fat chance in Glasgow! It’s because the days are…

My four years of Open University studies has come to an end. It ended with such an anti-climax. I hadn’t foreseen that I would not be melancholy about my study days being over. I thought that I would desire continuing on. But this final module (AKA academic year) has been such a hurdle I am…
It had been almost nine months to the day since first seeing Hamish Hawk perform Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Myself and the OH enjoyed so much that we’d wish we could have gone back the following night to see it all over again. So when…
