John Muir Country Park

Posted on July 8, 2020September 9, 2020by Emma

Three years with my SO calls for a (government sanctioned) mini-escape to the beach. We headed out towards Dunbar, in East Lothian, to explore the John Muir Country Park. The country park marks one end of the John Muir Way, which runs across the central belt of Scotland. Perhaps next year we’ll walk it! View […]

In 10: 2010-2019

Posted on January 1, 2020September 9, 2020by Emma

Sorrento

Posted on July 12, 2019September 14, 2019by Emma

Long time, no holiday! The last time I was out of the country was a my trip to Bruges (quaint, delicious waffles, A+, would recommend) back in April 2018 so this was long overdue! Sorrento has been on my revisit list for a long time now. I first went almost 10 years ago with my […]

Paper Flowers

Posted on April 20, 2019April 20, 2019by Emma

Continuing with The Year of Creativity, I decided to try my hand at paper flowers – or roses to be more specific! This project is one of those I had put on the backburner for a rainy day. With it being the long weekend over Easter, I found myself with some spare time and although […]
