Things to do with kids in Scotland

Last time I did things to do with kids in Wales, this time I’m back up the other end with things to do with kids in Scotland.
If you need accommodation in Scotland take a look at cottages in Scotland.

1. Glasgow Science Centre
A great day out especially if you have children of different ages as there’s something for everyone.
2. National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
Newly refurbished, the National Museum is well worth a visit. It’s situated just off the Royal Mile close to Edinburgh Castle. Make a day …

ACE Inspire

At the beginning of the year I decided I’d spend a bit more time talking about my work this year as it’s become a much bigger part of my life since Erin’s been at school.
So what have I been up to?
Well I’ve just finished running a Social Media Skills that Sells course. The format was quite different to anything I’ve done before and it went down really well, the feedback has been excellent so very pleased with that.
Our next eCourse is due to start at the end of the …

Welsh Flag

We’re lucky to have family to stay with in Wales when we visit, but check out these cottages in Wales if you don’t have a base.
And when you’re there this is what I recommend.
1. Dan yr Ogof Caves
We took Erin to the caves last year. The ticket includes a number of other attractions which includes a small petting off so a great place to take a picnic and stay all day.
2. LC2
LC2 is the newly refurbished leisure centre in Swansea. The waterpark is a must visit, you …

Is it me or did the Christmas holidays drag on a bit? Don’t get me wrong they were good but…well…maybe a week too long!
We had a great time though, we had Christmas Day with my family and then the evening and New Year’s Day with Alex’s family. Unfortunately Alex had to work quite a bit but we made the best of the time he was off, taking Erin to a Scottish Ballet workshop on one of the days.
Erin also spent time with both the grandparents and I learned …

Free Business Building Resources for 2012

I haven’t spoken much about my work and I plan to change that a bit in 2012 because it has become a much bigger part of how I spend time, alongside Uni still. Work wise I’m really excited about 2012, we’ve come up with some great new products for business women that I’m really enthusiastic about and we’ve pared down some of our other projects to focus on just training for the moment.
We have a fantastic range of free resources for 2012 that I’d like to share with you. …

naan

The Guru has been a favourite of ours for over 10 years. The restaurant itself isn’t anything to shout about but the food, oh the food.. well that’s delicious and great value too.
The last time I went with my mum. We’d been to see the new version of Wuthering Heights which was quite frankly hell, how we managed to last for whole 45 mins I’ll never know. After creeping out part way through we needed something good to cheer us up and The Guru is always a …

scottish ballet

Christmas was pretty hectic with Alex working many of the days, however we did have a couple of respite days in between Christmas and New Year and on one of our days off we took Erin along to a ballet workshop at the newly refurbished museum of Scotland. Incidently the museum looks amazing, and it’s free, so well worth a visit if you’re in town.
We headed up to the learning centre where the Scottish Ballet were running workshops for girls and boys 3-9yrs. The one we were at …

Keyboard

A new year and so begins a new challenge. Over the Christmas I decided to begin on No.45 on my 100 Things list. The challenge specifically is to be able to play the six songs below, from memory, using both hands.
Moonlight Sonata – Beethoven
Songbird – Fleetwood Mac
Song for Whoever – The Beautiful South
Always on My Mind – Elvis Presley
A Whiter Shade of Pale – David Lanz version
Let it Be – The Beatles
..and so it all started with me buying my keyboard off Amazon. The whole set up …
