June 2015
It’s feeling very wintry around here at the moment, we have had a good covering of snow all month. There is already more snow that at any point last winter. Having said that we have had some blue skies…
My mind is slowly being filled with thoughts of the real world, it’s a bittersweet thought. There will be two new members of the Phillips family to meet and seeing everyone again after 20 months will be great. However the thought of traffic, city noise, paying for things in shops, possibly getting a ‘proper’ job*, being sucked into watching rubbish TV etc (I could go on) isn’t one I’m enthusiastic about. It’s still looking like I’ll be back late August time, I have a date but it’s not confirmed.
* not if I can help it!
Happy birthday! That’s a year I’ve had this site live and sending out monthly blogs. I put a ‘counter’ in the background of the site to see how much traffic it gets, it went in last September. But it’s had over 18,000 hits from 101 countries since the counter started ten months ago. It seems most people come back and visit multiple times (I don’t get much more info before you panic! i.e I can’t see who you are). Which I think means people are enjoying it – so thank you for your loyalty!
See you next month!

Great photos again. It would be good to see you when you are back in Edinburgh. Cheers
Cheers Dave, yeah that would be good. I’ll give you a shout when I’m back. Hope the Achilles is healing well!
I see you are wearing your kilt at the midwinter dinner, Matthew. My question is, did you have any pants on underneath it? You are claiming to be a Scotsman, despite the fact that your mother is English, and the presence or absence of pants could be the deciding factor? No excuses about the cold weather, thank you, and I will know if you are lying, as I always have done….
Matthew, just clear up one thing for me – have you been in employment for the past 20 months ?
I note your mother is still obsessed with whether or not a man is wearing pants – reminds me of our first date !
The skull is that of a fur seal?
What’s with the South Korean flag on the wall?
It’t the skull from a Elephant seal (male) Haha we have a load of flags that get put up on the wall for no apparent reason – other than it’s something different.
