June

This month we’ve been on holiday. I still have plenty of blog posts to write with things I’ve seen on our trip to Scotland. It was amazing, I loved it. I can’t wait to go on another holiday in Scotland. While is not decided, of course, I think we are going to spend our time […]

Festus on Holiday

As earlier this month we’ve been on holiday in Scotland, Festus got his fair share of exploring. I wanted to share some pictures with him and ended up with 29! After careful consideration, the total number of pictures came down on a more appropriate 28. The pictures are in the order they were taken, mostly […]

Clava Cairns

Clava cairn

Clava cairn is a Bronze Age circular chamber tomb, about 4,000 years old. There are a group of four cairns and three stone circles, in Inverness, Scotland. Besides this one, there are around 50 more similar cairns in an area round about Inverness. On a plaque it is mentioned that: “On the shortest day of […]

Balmoral

Balmoral

Balmoral is the Scottish holiday home to the Royal Family. Bought for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in 1852, is the private property of Queen Elizabeth. I discovered by chance that it can be visited when the Queen is not in residence, when we were in our holiday in Scotland. So, we’ve decided to visit […]

Organizing the Wardrobe

Organizing the Wardrobe

We’ve just renovated the bedroom, after we’ve finished with our home office. So, I thought it would be interesting to share how I’m organizing the wardrobe. Even before we bought the house we knew we want a build-in wardrobe, as we like having all the clothes in order, easy to see. I would go as […]

V&A Dundee

V&A Dundee

V&A Dundee is a design museum in Dundee, Scotland, which opened in January this year. I was excited to visit it, considering how great is the V&A from London (I blogged about it in 2015, but I’ve been to the museum many times, I’d say around 5 times). Also, as I’ve been to the Design […]

Scone Palace

Scone Palace

Scone Palace is one of Scotland’s most important stately homes, the place where Kings were crowned and it was home to the Stone of Destiny. Some of the best known Scottish kings that were crowned here were Macbeth and Robert The Bruce. Unfortunately pictures aren’t allowed inside the palace, so I can share only pictures […]

A view of Markinch

Markinch

Markinch is a town in Fife, Scotland. It is a very small town, with a population a bit over 2,400. There is a stone circle nearby, thus the town was lived in for thousands of years. This picture is taken from Markinch Hill. There you can see some “mysterious terraces” made out of sand during […]

Liverpool Art Fair at Metquarter sign

Liverpool Art Fair at Metquarter

Last week I’ve been invited to the launch event of the Liverpool Art Fair at Metquarter. I was delighted to attend the event, as I enjoy art. The Art Fair started on the 14th June and it will be at Metquarter until the 1st September. It showcases local artists and I liked that too. If […]

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Palace of Holyroodhouse

I wanted to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse, as any Royalist would do. So, on our trip to Scotland, we’ve decided to visit the Palace while in Edinburgh. Before going to the Palace, we’ve been to the Chihuahua Cafe. As you can imagine, our day was pretty special. We got an audio guide and that […]
