We took Daniel back to St Andrews today to commence his second year of maths and computer science at one of the best universities in the world.

A few weeks ago I found Mary, a tiny baby wood pigeon, on the ground next to the carpark at Union Square.

We released Matilda back to her flock today.

No sooner had we said goodbye to Mary than we had Bertie the juvenile gull in the house for a few days.

Yesterday on my lunch break I ran down to M&S at Union Square to get a few things.

Every week for the past month I’ve been trying to catch a brown pigeon with awful string foot.

We’re back in Aberdeen after a brilliant mid-week break at Glen Dye.

We found the best swimming spot in all of Scotland, nae the whole of the UK, but I’m not going to share its location because then everyone will know and it’ll no longer be amazing.

I’ve long wanted to walk up Clachnaben, the iconic 589-metre hill just south of Banchory in Aberdeenshire.

Elizabeth had the very great privilege of performing in the Beyond Broadway Experience (BBEXP) production of Bring It On in Aberdeen this weekend with three performances at His Majesty’s Theatre over two days.

I was forced to upgrade my phone recently as my old one no longer supported security updates, which meant I couldn’t use it for work.

We went in search of the brown pigeon with string foot again this weekend and although we spotted him twice he was far too wary to come close enough for a rescue attempt.

We released Agnes this morning back at the same place we found her.

The past three days I’ve been trying to spot a brown pigeon with severe string foot.

How much fibre a day should we eat?

Today is a very special day because we officially adopted Quillomina from the Scottish SPCA!

I seem to be turning into an animal rescue as this week I have taken in two injured birds: first Harry the pigeon and then Edith the gull.

School is finished.

I longed to tap dance as a child after becoming enthralled by the movie musicals of the 1930s, 40s and 50s starring great dancers like Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, Ginger Rogers, Rita Hayworth and many more.

It has been a privilege for me to be a part of the 25th anniversary of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) which finishes today in Aberdeen.
