  Six of the Best Book-to-Screen Love Stories for Valentine’s Day

  Amongst my favourite things in life are books, films and box sets. One of my other favourite things in life is love, and Valentine’s Day offers a perfect excuse to curl up with a romantic book, or persuade/force/cajole my husband into watching one of my favourite soppy films. Better still, both – with books about…

  My Favourite Christmas Movies

  One of the best things about the Christmas holidays is the chance to curl up in front of the TV and watch a good old Christmassy movie, and one of my favourite pre-Christmas rituals involves getting out the festive edition of the Radio Times and highlighting all the movies and TV programmes we plan to…

  A Winter Getaway, Christmas Trees and a LOT of Podcasts – Little Loves

  November has well and truly left the building, but I really didn’t want to miss out on this year’s final Little Loves. I have a few things I’d like to share before 2018 sneaks off and leaves us, and besides, what’s a day (or 6 for that matter 😉 ) between friends? November was a…

  Holidays, A Birthday, Gary Barlow and Bohemian Rhapsody – Little Loves

  Ah, little loves, where would I be without you? These happy posts are a lovely way to feel grateful for another month that’s passed. And what a month October was – between school holidays, Halloween, my birthday and a 2000-mile road trip I’m feeling exhausted (in a good way 🙂 ) . I’m planning a big post…

  A Scottish Bucket List for Spring

  Last week, I was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland about Easter holiday planning for families, and some of our campervan adventures (get me, dropping that in so casually, as if I’m a seasoned radio-interviewee who doesn’t get excited about such things – I am not, and I was!) In the interview I spoke about our…

  Faking Friends, Pretty in Pink, A Writing Milestone and Trying to Play the Piano #LittleLoves

  Last week was a quieter week here in the WOTSR household, and after the hectic nature of the previous week we were all ready to take a little break. I spent less time writing on my blog and more on writing my book and the play I’ve been working on for my Tuesday evening writer’s group. I’m…

  Birthday Celebrations, Mother’s Day, La La Land and Too Many Writing Projects #LittleLoves

  It’s been a busy week here in the wellies household, and the last seven days have seen my eldest son’s birthday, postponed World Book Day celebrations, two parties and of course Mother’s Day. Add to the mix my writer’s group, the kids’ after school activities and the 101 other things all Mamas are familiar with and it’s fair…

  Binge-Worthy TV, Snowdrop Walks and School Discos – #LittleLoves

  It’s been a week of two halves here in the North of Scotland, with a mixture of Spring mornings and wintry afternoons. We enjoyed sun and snowdrops on a Sunday dog walk before a return to actual snow a bit later the same day 🙂 Yesterday the world was pretty and white again – if you read…

  Happy, DIY Beauty and Sick Days #LittleLoves

  Welcome back to another outing of Little Loves, a little later than normal this week as I’ve had a poorly boy at home with the latest sick bug doing the rounds at school. The downside of the temperatures dropping is the inevitable transition into norovirus territory…the upside is a day at home watching movies and…

  A Mother’s Love, Wonder Woman and Holiday Memories – #LittleLoves

  Welcome back to Little Loves, and to Wellies on the School Run generally – I’ve been having a little blog break over the October holidays and I have to say it’s been lovely to spend a couple of weeks just focusing on family and spending very little time whatsoever on social media or my phone. One…
