Going places

I’ve been enjoying a bit of down time with work this past week or so, which has allowed me to have lots of lazy mornings in bed doing ‘life admin’ stuff and plenty of catch ups with friends and family.

I met Luisa for breakfast last week in a local cafe and we chatted babies, boys and work!

We went for a walk around Queens Park afterwards and I wore these new lovely mid-top navy spot wellies from Surfdome. I can’t believe this sort of weather is already upon us!

You can check this page for more similar wellies. How lovely does Luisa look? Shes absolutely glowing, and I can’t wait to meet her baby boy in February.

Later on in the week I took a drive into the wilderness with Greig and we went to the Drovers Inn for some lunch.

Hearty food and a pint by the fire. Nae bad at all!

The Drovers is famous for its eerie atmosphere, with taxidermy covering the walls and tales of the ghosts who haunt the building. The place had been decorated all halloween-esque with their famous bear donning a top hat for the occasion.

Wrapped up again to brave the chilly Scottish air, I matched my yellow raincoat with these floral boots from Spartoo. They’re the 4th pair of shoes I own from Rocket Dog, who just keep on getting it right with the cutest selection of footwear I’ve seen in ages.

I told you it was cold – not impressed!

A third impressive meal of the week happened at the Corinthian in Glasgow, where I was invited down by Chobani for a yogurt inspired dinner.

Risotto to start.

Lamb for main.

Cheesecake for desert.

I’ll be honest, I actually really don’t like yogurt at all. I was badly sunburned when I was in my teens and have memories of my mum using natural yogurt to help my skin and since then the smell and texture has always been a massive no no for me. You’d then think I would be mad to go to a yogurt inspired dinner, but I wanted to give Chobani a chance to change my mind and I think they were successful. It was intriguing to see how yogurt can be used in certain recipes and actually isn’t as obvious or overpowering as you would think. The meal was fantastic and we were surrounded by great company too. The berry yogurt cocktails we had upon arrival were also pretty amazing – converted!

Some more eclectic bits of news before I go…

Finished up on Susan Boyles new music video last week which should be hitting your screens very soon. She was absolutely lovely!

My flatmate and his pals stumbled across this old episode of Taggart I was in when I was 11. What a giggle! Apparently I’ve not changed much?

After seemingly going through somewhat of a quarter life crisis and dying my hair blonde (more about that in the next post) I got a new tattoo and a dermal piercing on my wrist. My dermal is still bruised from healing, and the tattoo is a bit scabby but here’s a picture from after it was done. Keep moving forwards eh? ♥
