Hello and thank you for popping over to my personal blog!
I won't promise you any posts of incredible stature here, its more a collective of the stories of a woman working and living in Glasgow, Scotland.
I enjoy travelling, reading, writing letters to my penpals, photography, playing video games, my two wee cats Ellie and Susie, charity shop hunting, cooking, baking and going on adventures with my friends or my husband Johnny. You can expect to see lots about them all in my posts.
I am due to become a first time mum in August 2019. I am excited but nervous! So expect some baby related posting here from time to time!
I love living in Glasgow, even after living here for years, I still find new places to explore and find.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, my blog email is weefatonion@gmail.com
Learning to write again
Not LITERALLY, but more for an enjoyable reason! The purpose of this blog was to encourage me to try enjoy writing again and so far its been a slow process. I don't do this for any personal gain nor do I expect it to ever flourish into anything more than a hobby for me, but… Continue reading Learning to write again
Remembering to never forget
Earlier this week I celebrated both my mother and my grandmother's birthdays, by visiting them at the Garden of Rememberence. I have done this every year since Granny passed away and of course more recently when Mum also passed on. It's been a little tradition of mine ever since my early 20's to visit mum… Continue reading Remembering to never forget
Pretty Little Things – Letter storage boxes
Over on Instagram, the absolutely wonderful Charmful Things has a fantastic little shop filled with cute stationery goods! I was speaking to the owner Kate, who had recently made beautiful storage boxes and posted them on her own Instagram and I was admiring them. I asked if it was possible to make some for me for… Continue reading Pretty Little Things – Letter storage boxes
Snug as a bug in a rug
Not going to lie, this post comes straight from my bed. The bed I have been dreaming about crawling back into since 9am this morning (it's now 11:48pm on Sunday night) and one of the places I love being the most. I never used to be one for staying in bed, I'm happier plodding about… Continue reading Snug as a bug in a rug
Sunday Sunday…
After chatting to the husband about old routines we used to have when we were younger, I have decided to go back to my old Sunday routine - cleaning! When I was younger I was super disciplined - I would get up early and have the house sparking by lunch time. This suited me so… Continue reading Sunday Sunday…
Old New Friend
So I've gone back to playing Final Fantasy 14... This time I am playing very casually though! I really can't dedicate the time required to be a decent player but it's nice to plod and and enjoy the game at a leisurely pace. And I'm not playing as my old character either. I've purposely rolled… Continue reading Old New Friend
Spring cleaning
This week we waved off our flatmate Kat, who has found herself a perfect flat in Glasgow for herself. Whilst I really miss her, I am happy knowing she has a beautiful little space to call her own that I know she is going to make into a comfy little Kat cave! It really does… Continue reading Spring cleaning
Our Japanese honeymoon adventure, March – April 2017
Now we are home and utterly miserable, I wanted to write about our Japan honeymoon in an attempt to cheer myself up and hopefully make for some interesting reading! We had been planning this honeymoon before we had even considered where we were going to get married! Whilst sitting in the departure lounge in March… Continue reading Our Japanese honeymoon adventure, March – April 2017

Tomorrow is my final day (well half day) at work before we jet off on our honeymoon! I still cannot believe that we are finally heading back to Japan! We have sorted out where we want to go, who we want to see and what we want to do. We just have to get there… Continue reading Soon…soon…
