Event Preview: Welly Ball (first published November 2016)
Welly Ball; the night of the year where the two things that St. Andrews loves so much are combined to make one perfect evening. Hosted by the Clay Pigeon Society, this is a ball with a difference. The attendees can ditch the stilettos, brogues and any other items of appropriate formal footwear, as (you’ve guessed…

Downton Abbey Series 6 Finale Review (First published November 2016)
The end. After six series of glorious period drama, our beloved “Downton Abbey” showed its final episode (although luckily we still have the much-awaited Christmas episode to look forward to). And for a slow burner of a series, this episode had it all. Seargent Willis was back although (for once!) not for poor Anna. Instead,…

Downton Abbey Series 6 Episode 7 Review (First published October 2015)
Two marriage proposals one marginally more successful than the other, a horrifying motor death, but (most importantly) a new puppy! Shocks and surprises were not thin on the ground in this week’s Downton. The episode opened with Mrs. Patmore as the proud owner of a B&B, which led her to have a girly/middle-aged womanly gossip…

Downton Abbey Series 6 Episode 6 review (First published October 2015)
It was open day at the Abbey in this week’s Downton as the house was available for the public to view for the first time, an initiative which divided opinions amongst the Crawleys. Relegated to his sickbed, Robert got little say in the matter, although he was staunchly set against it as (unsurprisingly) were Carson…

Downton Abbey Series 6 Episode 4 review (First published October 2015)
Familiar faces were back at the Abbey in this week’s Downton, some more welcome than others. The episode was a slow-burner after last week’s long-awaited wedding, opening with Sargent Willis returning (he is there so often he may as well just move in), only this time not to speak to Anna but to Baxter. Her…

Downton Abbey Series 6 Episode 3 Review (First published September 2015)
Unions and reunions at the abbey with tears and laughter in this week’s Downton. The episode opened with another tug of war and more plotting between Team Violet and Clarkson and Team Isobel and Cora, resulting in high tensions amongst all involved, making last week’s stressful wedding preparations seem like child’s play. With the venue…

Downton Abbey, Series 6 Episode Two Review (First published September 2015)
Wedding preparations, missing children and pigs. This week’s instalment of Downton Abbey certainly didn’t disappoint, although it was relatively slow to open, with Carson and Hughes having a pre-marital tiff over the location of their wedding, having now moved on a step now from setting the date. He wanted the splendour of Downton Abbey whilst…

Downton Abbey Series 6, Episode 1 Review. (First published September 2015)
The beginning of the end of an era. Not only for our beloved British TV series which will finish after this season, having been on our screens since 2010, but also for the opulent lives that the Crawley family leads. The episode opened with the visually pleasing hunting scene, showing Downton in all its autumn…

Travel Review: Skiathos, Greece (First published July 2019)
Greece Article In the far south-east of Europe surrounded by the clear waters of the Aegan Sea lies the Greek island of Skiathos. It is the most westernmost island of the Northern Sporades group and is situated not far from the Greek mainland. Yet the island itself was beautifully remote and has all the charm…

Is the Saint Andrews Gossip Page really a good idea? (First published March 2018)
In a town as small as Saint Andrews, it is no surprise that gossip spreads like wildfire up and down its three streets. It is almost impossible to meet someone without already knowing a whole host of facts about them, from their degree to who they’re sleeping with. Pre-conceptions are made about people from the…
