Walking the local trails with Jennifer this afternoon. Even on this grey and cold day, it’s still a great place to walk.

Wee yin has started building his A-Frame Cabin set from Lego. I’m just a smidge jealous that he’ll get to do this one all by himself.

A child is assembling a Lego set at a table in a room with framed pictures on the wall.

I have mixed feelings about this morning’s snowfall. On the upside, the garden will be immensely picturesque under snow. On the downside, the golf course will likely be closed all weekend, which scraps the plans the wee yin and I had for tomorrow.


I had a great time with Drew out in the course today. With winter golf around the corner, it’s time to encourage Drew to try different shots and learn more about what’s possible with his clubs.


Another great Sunday afternoon golfing with Drew.

It’s that wonderful time of year when I can golf in the afternoon with the boys, head home for a Sunday roast dinner, and watch a couple of NFL games in the evening.


Not a bad day so far today. A cooked breakfast, to begin with, played golf with my Dad and then headed home to get a few chores done before the rest of the family gets home. I could do with a few more days like this through the year.


Took the wee guy to the driving range for a session today. Weather has been awful this week for golfing.

Another good day for Ethan on the golf course.

He won the Junior County Champion of Champions this afternoon at Paisley Golf Club.

Closing off the golf season with a couple of trophies, well done big yin!

Pumpkin picking over at Cupar today. Thankfully the weather was in our favour.


Great day with Jen and the boys walking around Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond. It helped to clear the cobwebs.


Proud of Ethan winning his first Junior Club Championship at Paisley Golf Club.

A superb match over 36 holes that went to a second playoff hole before the winner was decided.

It was nice to get back to church and celebrate Drew’s first Holy Communion today. Even nicer that he was able to do it with some of his classmates and friends.

We’re back home now and firing up the BBQ for a feast with a few drinks. All in all, it’s been a good day.


New year, new Techo planner.


Friday night dinner at the golf club with a cracking view. Great start to the weekend.


Another Sunday. Another nine holes with Drew. Cracking day for it and he managed to play most of the holes from the junior red tees. He even managed a double bogey on one hole, which for his age, is great going.


It’s just me and my boy out on the course tonight. He’s playing well and finished with a superb 4 from the blue tee, which is about 150 yards out.


Jen timed picking up these new caramel crunch biscuits from Aldi perfectly. #mbaug


We had a great time this morning having breakfast with Santa at The Bothy restaurant in Glasgow. A hearty breakfast was followed by a story with Santa, and then there was that all-important matter of seeing if you were on the naughty or nice list. Thankfully, Drew made the nice list!


Another Lego set is complete for Drew!

This year’s Christmas set, with the light brick and the detail inside, has some nice little touches. We just need to dig out the other sets tomorrow night when we put the tree up!
