Partick Thistle v Morton


My first football match in Scotland! I went to see Partick Thistle play today with Austin, Jess & Emily. It was pissing down with rain, but the stands were still pretty packed! It was so fun just to listen to all the comments from the fans - pretty intense even just at a Thistle match. It was tied 1-1 in the end.
Of course, it just wasn't the same without Brad there so I did the next best thing and called him during the game! I think I might have made his day!!
Celtic & Rangers are playing tomorrow, I may just hit a Celtic pub!

Brr... look how cold it is! It reminded me of being at Brad's ball games when it was freezing out!

Another Cake... FUN!


I came home on Thursday night and my flatmate, Craig was slaving away in the kitchen cooking up this fun treat for me! It's called a 'clootie dumpling' and it took a lot of work to make. You have to put the batter into a scalding hot, floured cloth, tie it up and boil it for 3 1/2 hours before putting it in the oven for 20 minutes! You can eat it hot, cold, with custard, fried with bacon... basically however you want! I tried it fried with bacon and it was quite grand! I think it weighs at least 10lbs!! Hooray to birthday's!

Yum... Cake!!


My lovely friend, Jules from my class made me a fabulous birthday dinner and baked me this amazing cake from scratch! Her & Ellie bought me a super fun knitting book with instructions on how to knit a pint of Guinness! Nice!

My Coffee Shop!


The Offshore Cafe is my local hangout where I like to send postcards & drink tea before bed! My flat is literally around the corner. It is the first building to the left.

A lovely misty evening!

Warmin' My Belly!


After a long hike in the mountains, what could be better than a wee drink of whisky in the Clachaig Pub near the Glencoe Hostel...
mmm whisky!
