New Lanark Visitor Centre ~ Review

Recently I discovered a lovely opportunity on Facebook for bloggers to visit New Lanark. Naturally I signed myself up for that. As a family we are regular visitors to the World Heritage Site (admittedly we usually tramp around the grounds and walks on sunnier days complete with a picnic), the chance to see the "touristy" bits was quite exciting.
Contact with Melissa Reilly the marketing and PR officer was smooth and very helpful. My tickets were waiting for me at the front desk, along with stickers, yup I'm sold now.

T2: Trainspotting ~ Movie Review

I obviously led a sheltered life, I was 24 when I first watched Trainspotting and I must admit it really wasn't my cup of tea. In fact the world it portrayed seemed too far fetched and insane to be realistic, I was honestly disgusted by the adult and mature content. I never understood the themes of friendship and the love of life that many others adored it for.
Now twenty years later the cast had regrouped to bring the cult fans some new material with T2 Trainspotting. Unfortunately this was an unmissable opportunity for an Anniversary date (I did manage to sidestep the double bill!).

How to Engage on Social Media ~ Awesome Author

Now for a little bit of back ground my eldest daughter has been fangirling over Cathy Cassidy; since we received information on her books in 2013 (initial blog), so just a little while. I admit to encouraging following of authors, musicians and artists online as I believe it's a great way to meet like minded people and keep up to date with new books and developing works. I know everyone leads such busy lives thats why I am always impressed when a role model takes the time to give something back to their fans.
