On Friday we went a photo walk around Glasgow. It was sunny and as the light began to dip we stopped off at the Necropolis for some photos. I miss taking portraits.…
Have You Met Brittany?
Brittany is one of my closest friends. We have known one another since high school and I’m very lucky we have managed to not only keep in touch, but become closer. …
College Friend Reunion
James and I used to go to College together, but we hadn’t hung out in about 4 years. I invited James to the Reel Big Fish / Less Than Jake combo headliner (which was amazing), and this opened the door to keeping in touch again.
James is into photography, so we spent one Saturday on a photo walk around Glasgow. I forgot how much I love photo walks!
Lunch with Laura
Spontaneous text from Laura on Sunday morning. “Fancy lunch? Somewhere cheap… with wine.” Yeppp, I’m game.
A Quick Trip To Manchester
I have a confession. The first couple of times I visited Manchester I didn’t enjoy it. Whenever I visited there was a monsoon of rain. My Converse would get wet and I was cold. Miserable! Now it’s one of my favourite cities, and this visit to Manchester is one of my best summer memories so far.
A group of us got a loft-style apartment in the city. The sun was shining. The World Cup was on. We ate good food and drank Sangria. Perfection! I like you a lot, Manchester.
Mulled Wine Time
It’s Christmas market time! I know some people delay festivities for as long as possible, but I love Christmas. Some friends and I visited the Christmas market one Friday evening and warmed up with mulled wine. Other things I like about the Christmas market; heated macaroons, currywurst and fake snow.
Last Days of Summer
Well, that’s summer gone. We didn’t have many good days. With being a wedding photographer it felt like I was always working on the sunny days we did get. Nic and I managed to finish work early one Friday in September, however, and take our dogs up Conic Hill.
Indie had an operation this year to remove a lump, so I’m wary of what she’s capable of now she’s getting old. I said to Nic, “Let’s keep an eye on Indie and only walk as far as she wants”. Well, Indie pulled us right to the top. She’s a trooper!
A Weekend In Warsaw
Craft Beer With Honest Brew
I’m new to beer, certainly no connoisseur, yet I really enjoyed digging through Honest Brew‘s craft beer box (as did my friends). Our favourite of the evening was Beavertown’s Neck Oil.
Six beers, three friends and a lot of pizza. It was the perfect end to the weekend. So much so, I’m considering a subscription to Honest Brew for more social occasions like this.
Oh, and as someone who enjoys good design, I appreciated the branding on a lot of the bottles. Craft beer is pretty!

Cheers!
Gin From A Teapot
Shawshank (that’s my friend. It’s not her real name. Shawshank is from Uist and I was unable to pronounce her name. We gave her this nickname over a decade ago and it’s stuck) invited me to Cup Tea Garden to drink gin from a teapot. It complimented our afternoon tea perfectly.
Definitely a recommended visit if you like gin. Oh, and afterwards pop around the corner to The Spiritualist for more gin.
