Reflections March 2022
We had another brief dusting of snow this month. March was all about World Book Day! My boys look forward to it months in advance. It might be Oskar's last time, as I don't think they dress up for it in
{Edinburgh} Gorgie/ Dalry Community Park
I photographed another playground for you today. To be honest, it's not one I would take my boys to, mostly because there is hardly anything there, but I'm including the review here for completeness sake. It's official name according to
Planning for April
This year, I’m trying to be more organised in planning ahead for each month. In case it helps anyone else be more organised too, I’ll be sharing our monthly list of things to do, plan, remember and celebrate. And for
{Edinburgh} Merchiston Park Playground
We ticked off another playground in our 'how many different playgrounds can we visit this year' quest yesterday. It's actually one we stop at quite a lot, as it's right next to where the Beaver Scouts sometimes meet when they

Audubon’s Birds of America
Last week, schools in Edinburgh were off for half term so I made some time to take the boys on a couple of outings. One such outing was to the National Museum of Scotland, which we visit frequently year round
{Edinburgh} Saughton Park Playground & Skate Park
It's time to tell you about Saughton Park. We last visited at the end of December, so it doesn't really count towards this years quest to visit as many playgrounds as we can, but while I'm sure we'll visit again
{Edinburgh} Meadows Toddler Play Area
I have another playground to share with you today. This is one that we used to visit a lot when the boys were younger, but as it's aimed at toddlers they have now outgrown it. It still gets a bug
{Edinburgh} Morningside Park Playground
This morning, as we were waiting to pick up our eldest from his Brass Monkey Scouts camp (brrrr
