pumpkinsputnik

We've had lots of new things appearing this week but I'll start off with these very lovely handmade notebooks by Glasgow designer/maker Emma Wilson (aka pumpkinsputnik). I was really pleased to get Emma's work here as it really is gorgeous. From £3.50-£8. Perfect stocking fillers!

well done Ken!!

My very brave partner Ken (a brewer at The Inveralmond Brewery ) made his debut on the new Gaelic television channel last night on a programme about food and drink called Slighe gu Biadh. Brave because he's a Gaelic learner and was extremely (& uncharacteristically) nervous on the day! The whole programme is set in Perthshire (the bit in the brewery is about 8 minutes in) and has subtitles in English. You can see it HERE on BBC iPlayer for the next week.
*UPDATE* My mum (a gaelic speaker) thinks he did very well!!! He'll be pleased about that!
