EGG

Coo Clayton – a real good EGG

I can admit this here because I am amongst friends. I stalked Coo Clayton on Edinburgh Gossip Girls before I met her in person… read more of my catch up with the Scottish children’s book author Coo Clayton @EGG

Last Friday I had the very great pleasure of talking books, babies and travel at the @theedinburghbookshop end of the month Speakeasy. Anne Hamilton and I looked back on our early days traveling with and without our children - and I shared some of my favorite parts of ‘You Won’t Remember This - travel with babies’ the book I created. So happy to say you can now buy the book from this lovely indie bookshop! #edinburgh #shoplocal #indiebookshop #womenwriters #bookshop #familytravel photo by @eilidhabhall
Touristing in London this weekend with the kids involved a lot of trying to get excitable little people to be quiet, hold your hand, look where you are going, don’t do that, hurry up, slow down, please please be quiet, please look at the camera, please stop complaining that mummy got new shoes and you only got to watch a busker swallow a balloon. Mummy needs new shoes now and again, and she needs a quiet place to lie down... but we’ve come home having seen the sunshine, I had an idea for a story today and the kids got to go to a talking toilet on the train. Happy days. Ps I’m chatting about the reality of travel with babies and kids @theedinburghbookshop on Friday the 28th so do come on down for a free gin and you might get to see my new shoes. #familytravel #london #melissapossession #mumlife #kids
Edinburgh has a lot of great views- and I worked hard to get this one running up a long slow hill. I have never in my life been the person who makes it to the top of the hill first, and while it’s got nothing to do with winning it does feel good to have worked hard and making progress. #runlife #mumlife #edinburgh #arthursseat #summerinedinburgh #runninguphill #running
Over on twitter this week I am managing the Women Writers Network twitter account. We are a small and very busy group of women - including, but not limited to @lizchamps @mariadonovanwrites @taylorhelen_m @tia.parker1. This week I am shouting out about the heroes who help lift up #womenwriters. So the websites, bookshops, bloggers, editors, literary magazines, competition judges... there are a lot of them and I’d love any extra recommendations. This image is the magazine the lovely folks @deardamsels publish annually - as well as running the site as well as holding down day jobs! #deardamsels #amreading #indiebookshopweek #booklove
Canal Festival today. A properly local day out. In between watching banana rafts racing shark boats and a rowing Fox we bumped into pals and had those power catch ups only mums can have. There were bouncy castles, jazz, ice creams, dumplings and home made cakes. This year we even got to visit someone’s home on a canal boat and snagged a sausage off their barbie. #tinyhouse #local #edinburgh #foodvans #canalfestival #mumlife #summerinedinburgh
One of those sunny Edinburgh days. I was outside all day: running errands in the morning, then gardening and hanging out in our willow bower with my four year old. It would have been idyllic except Finn cried for 20 mins because I told him it was too hot to wear his Spider-Man suit. ‘But nobody will notice me.’ He sobbed. We settled on a cape which got him a few comments during school pick up and a trip into the city to get Rafa’s glasses, and visit the floral clock at the Princes street gardens. I tried to tell him he is enough just as he is... but he disagreed. #mumlife #sunshine #princesstreetgardens #edinburgh #costumes #edinburghcastle
