It was my Grandma's last day in Scotland today, so rather than let her sit at home along in Fife, we drove through in the Figaro to pick her up and bring her through to Edinburgh to hang out.

Everyone seems to have been telling us to go to New Lanark recently, so we picked up Dad and Grandma and headed along for a day out. New Lanark is a village that was created as a social experiment...

We met up with Duncan and Alex this morning at The Chocolate Tree and it felt so Christmassy sipping on a winter spice hot chocolate for breakfast. Our Secret Santa present had arrived from Twinki...

We wanted to continue last year's singing Christmas card video tradition and weren't sure if we would be able to top it when we came up with the idea of turning our friends into LEGO. We record...

Christmas Eve
It was Christmas Eve today which meant I got a giant Lindt teddy bear in my advent calendar and Tom got a LEGO Santa in his which came in very handy with our Christmas card. I was kept busy all da...

Paddington
We met up with the family to see Paddington this evening. I wasn't expecting too much from it but really loved it. Parts of it were set around where we lived in Maida Vale and it made us homesick f...

We're giving away a sewing machine from Singer on Cut Out + Keep over the holidays and to give everyone a little inspiration, I put it to the test by making some gifts for the family. I made Tom a...

Sunday
We headed to Blairadam Forest to get our Christmas tree today and I though we'd have to get a smaller one as we would be driving it home in the back of Fig, but Tom picked out a giant 7 foot pine.

Tom had heard there would be some F1 drivers racing fast cars around Princes Street Gardens this morning, so we woke up bright and early and headed along to check it out. Jenson Button, Mika Hakki...
