at the heart of the matter...

eco - friendly way of being

Taking care of our beautiful planet is a cause which many people feel they are at the heart of - whether giving up plastic bags or participating in the 'new coat' scheme, where you simply choose a coat and can donate too. We all have a role to play no matter how small.

true to the heart of midlothian

This brilliant part of the U.K. has plenty of things going on where we can participate and find our own niche. What does the typical Midlothian lady seek out? Many services; to nail salons to a quiet walk or somewhere reasonably priced. A good coffee at the local bakers will do for me but sometimes a wee afternoon tea might be a good idea...

cultural diversity

With a host of different backgrounds, experiences and outlooks, it is interesting to hear the array of languages spoken. Midlothian feels like a wee melting pot highlighting the uniqueness of us all.

Technology social media

Living through this technological 'revolution' sometimes I feel left behind and struggling with 'technophobia' now and again...but everything has advanced so quickly with almost everything at the touch of a button these days which is wonderful but lets not lose our face to face interactions.
