Confessions of a Clumsy Scot

Hello, sorry I’ve been quiet recently. I have ideas for posts but honestly just sometimes don’t know where to start.
The other thing Im struggling with is photos to go along with content and being on Instagram now is making me feel a bit useless when it comes to content in general.

I’ll get back to it, just taking some time to find my feet a little.

But I thought I’d do a little catch up here. I’m feeling quite content with life just now. Nothing major but the little things make me happy.

Little things like seeing a double rainbow at work the other day. The weather has been so cold but it’s been pretty dry so it’s been lovely to throw on another layer and crack on.

The RNLI part of my life is a wee bit quiet just now but come January that’s going to get pretty busy with the arrival on a brand new Shannon Class ALB to replace our trusty old Trent Class which will be turning 30 next year. It’s been nice doing odds and end around the station too and we even had some local school kids come and paint a mural at our local harbour to commemorate the boats and the local landscapes and it’s just brightened the place up so much!
I’ll do a post sometime about lifeboating too.

Work is crazy just now and means I never really know what day it is!
I passed my final exam last month which I kept quiet, but I’m over the moon to be able to say I’m now a qualified Electrician! I’m thinking about continuing with University but I’ll see where I’m at next year and see if I can handle the extra workload!

I haven’t done anything else in the garden since my last post. My plan is to still to grab some pallets and make a few raised beds so I can expand my little growing area. Once the frost has passed I’m going to try a little picking flower area beside the drive way too!

I’m trying to make sure I’m picking up on all the smalls things in life too. Like the fact I can take my doggy for a lovely wintery walk, watching all the little flowers still popping up or making the most of the weather.
