Yay for time off! Finally its the holiday season, where I plan to eat a horrific amount of food, play video games and enjoy being with friends and family. When I was younger, I really hated Christmas, because it was always a messy situation in my family home. So naturally I wasn't much of a… Continue reading Christmaaaaaassssss!

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 a first time mum, giving birth to Emily in August 2019, 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
I have been very neglectful…
And I am very sorry for that! The last few months have been increasingly difficult, both at home and at work. New job means I was on training for several weeks and a lot of reading. And in the middle of all that, we moved to a temporary property, which is where we are now. … Continue reading I have been very neglectful…
Creature Comforts
Today's post comes from my good wee pal, Paperblank Prompts: Cosy blankets and copious amounts of tea! Admittedly, I am not a fan of winter. I am happy in my cosy house but when I have to go outside, that's just criminal. But I get the slow cooker on, shove loads of tasty food in… Continue reading Creature Comforts

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
