From danger in the Scottish hills to a ski-ing trip in Surrey (Rousse)
I struggled up the mountain side, the gap between us widening with every step I took. TPR was miles ahead of me and I would never catch up with him. The terrain was particularly difficult over the grassy banks. If … Continue reading

Chronology change chaos at the British Council and the Kate Greenaway Children’s Book Award (Rousse)
The hole in the time space continuum was causing all sorts of trouble, including the relocation of major landmarks. For example, Ben Nevis had shifted 250 miles south to Manchester city centre, bringing with it a microclimate of streaked wispy … Continue reading

Rare feral brown and white mountain goats captured on film in the Scottish highlands (Rousse)
I saw RA’s boyfriend G playing with an iPad. When I asked what he was doing he showed me videos from his summer holiday. His favourites featured rare feral brown and white mountain goats grazing beside a steep waterfall in … Continue reading

Johnny Depp at the FA Cup Final (Belle)
The criminal was sitting on the floor of the school hall, handcuffed and mouthing obscenities. I, however, had no time to react. I had to get home, change, pick up my boyfriend and get to the FA Cup Final. The … Continue reading

Time-travelling Rousse misses several photo opportunities and breaks a promise
I was in desperate need of a decent picture for my photo journal. I simply couldn’t find anything nearby that was interesting enough to snap. Then I struck upon an idea. If I travelled back in time just a couple … Continue reading

Shetland’s craziest coach driver (Rousse)
We had both settled into our seats on the train on the way to the airport when I asked TPR what he had done with the suitcase. Although we’d both remembered our rucksacks as hand luggage, he’d forgotten to pick … Continue reading

Sunshine in the Highlands, a glug jug and a job offer in New York (Rousse)

Become a personal trainer – but not on this course (Rousse)
Completely fed up with work, I decided to ditch academia to train as a fitness instructor, and joined the same course as FM. The pace of the classes was incredibly slow, largely because the tutor took a 15 minute break … Continue reading

Rock climbing and engine driving (Rousse)
Most surprisingly, SC scaled the bare rock face in seconds. Henceforth she would be known as Spiderwoman. I was a mere novice mountain goat in comparison, terrified as I hesitated over every decision as to where next I should place … Continue reading
Walking in Glencoe bereft of map and boots, but with Take That (Rousse)
I was the reluctant leader of a small running club expedition to Glencoe. Unqualified for the role, I was making a complete mess of it. First, we arrived far too late in the afternoon to tackle any of the interesting … Continue reading
