This is one of my favourite photos from our summer 2010 road trip in Europe. It was taken in Vernazza, one of the five beautiful towns that makes up the Cinque Terre in Italy. I had heard a lot about these coastal towns from friends who had visited the Liguria region and it was a [...]
The Christmas tree is down and the waistline suitably expanded but there are still a couple of days left to experience Edinburgh’s Winter Wonderland in Princes Street Gardens. In December we had a day out at the German Market to celebrate my father in law’s birthday. It’s a great place to go with kids who [...]
I have always loved visiting Princes Street Gardens. The gardens are right over the road from Edinburgh’s main shopping street and as a teenager I used to go there with my friends for a break after a long day’s window shopping. In the summer we’d have picnics there, usually involving a sandwich from Marks and [...]
Last week we stayed in Old Kilmory Church in Ardnamurchan for 4 nights. You can read my review of the accommodation here. We had a total media blackout – no TV, internet or mobile phones (OK, an almost blackout – we did happen across some mobile reception on a couple of occasions when we were [...]
My sister came to visit yesterday and she had brought with her ‘Euan Month by Month’ – several photos of my baby that she’d recently had printed to put in an album. In a lot of the earlier photos Euan was sleeping and I started thinking about the days when he was so small that [...]

We had a great walk in the forest, plenty of fresh air, and came home with a huge basket of chantarelles. Euan was quite comfy in his sling while choosing the best mushrooms with Dad. I [...]
This photo was taken in Switzerland the day after friends of ours got married. We had taken a funicular train up to the top of the mountain to get stunning views over Lake Lugano. It was a bit hazy but still absolutely stunning. The weather was particularly hot and when I couldn’t find Euan’s hat [...]
This photo was taken by my husband (www.arranmoffat.co.uk) from our ferry from Rosyth near Edinburgh to Zebrugge in Belgium. The Forth Rail Bridge is stunning and it was great to have the opportunity to sail right underneath it. See my related post for more on ferry travel with your baby. Check out Delicious Baby to [...]
