Last weekend I had the good fortune to visit some old friends up in Edinburgh and in the spirit of silliness we decided to spend the dwindling daylight hours robbing children of their happiness and winning big at Portobello’s amusement arcade.

My Day in Pictures: Market Sunday
In my week in pictures post I mentioned a visit to Maltby Street Market and this past Sunday I headed there again for brunch with my gal pals.
My Day In Pictures: Magnificent Mount Stewart
Hi Hi friends!
If you’re a regular here you’ll know by now that my love for Mount Stewart runs deep. If you’re not yet familiar with this incredible place, Mount Stewart is a National Trust stately home with expertly manicured sprawling gardens that are bursting with native species plants and shrubs. Located along the wiggly windy road out of Newtownards to Portaferry it’s tucked away behind the bend just past Newtownards Sailing Club. I love it there. No matter how many times I have been I always learn something new with each visit.
My Day in Pictures: Sensational Butterflies
There’s nothing better than getting out into nature but the temperamental British weather can sometimes put a bit of a dampener on the very best laid plans. Even as I write this post the clouds are darkening overhead as they toy with the idea of rain on what’s an otherwise gloriously sunny day.
My Day in Pictures: Embracing Simple Pleasures
One of my fondest memories of my most recent visit home is a walk my mum and I took down at the Tide Bank, not far from our house. It’s one of our favourite places to visit and if you walk right out to where the winding path comes to a halt and turn back on your heel to the car park you can cover almost 5 miles.
