Dot Blanket

by Lydia September 16, 2022

One of our new favourite things in our house is our new blanket – also known as the Dot Blanket – which a family friend gave us a couple of weeks ago. When it is not being used, it lives on the rocking chair – but it is already a firm favourite and is much in demand for curling up on the settee or for sleeping in miniature indoor tents.

Euan bought Auri a doctor’s kit today. Fortunately, Scapa was very patient.

A young pre-school girl stands grinning next to her black dog in a wood, her hand on the dog's head. She is wearing green dungarees and a striped woolly hat. The dog has needles from the trees on her nose, and her ridiculously long tongue is hanging out of her mouth.

Semi-Feral Sisters

by Lydia September 13, 2022

From earlier this year: Auri and Scapa on a walk through the woods. “Needles on noses, but no woollen mittens…”

Skull Treasure

by Lydia September 9, 2022

From a few weeks ago: Auri and I love looking for treasure on the beach, and this skull was a particularly exciting find.

The Magic of Beethoven

by Lydia September 5, 2022

Auri was looking at her French book about Beethoven earlier – the one that plays little snippets of some of his music – so I thought I would introduce her to this. She sat there in silence transfixed the entire time and, as soon as it was finished, asked to watch it again. We eventually had to stop playing it after several repeats so she could get ready for bed. A true magical moment!

Elosa

Take one Southern and one Northern. Throw in two determined (very) young women and their four-legged guardian and partner in crime. Immerse in the Highlands.
