It’s been 9 months since the last episode of this long-ass tale, but in those 9 months, a lot has happen. When I last posted, we had yet to make an offer on a house but we’d viewed three houses over the course of two weekends. The first house was a former coach house in … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic) – Episode 6
It’s 2022 and my sporadic series documenting my move to Scotland continues on. Whilst there has been progress over the past few months since I last blogged, we still quite haven’t made it over the line in terms of our overall goals. We are in a much better position going into 2022 then we were … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic) – Episode 5
Languishing. That’s apparently the word of the year and it totally sums up my 2021 so far. My last proper update was at the end of 2020 (not including my watch purchases), and I ended the blog post with the fact we’d had two offers on our house in England. And then the first offer … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic) – Episode 4
Back in summer 2020, I missed out on the limited edition Mare Adesso watch. I spent too long thinking about it, and by the time I logged on, it had sold out – they mentioned on their blog that it was their fasting selling watch. It was designed by Matteo Girardi “as a celebration of … More Mr Jones Watches – Mare Adesso
My next watch purchase was made at the same time I moved to Scotland last year. The wonderful Mr Jones Watches team held onto it for a couple of days for me, so this was the first parcel that arrived after I moved. It’s stunning. Just phenomenally stunning. Paper Crane by the incredible artist, Hannah … More Mr Jones Watches – Paper Crane
It’s been so long since I’ve posted that I’ve almost forgotten how to use WordPress, but my blog has become a catalogue of my watch collection and I have a bit of catching up to do! First up, a sample from August last year. Since everything has moved online, Mr Jones Watches has regularly held … More Mr Jones Watches – The Promise of Happiness
The last time I posted was 7 months ago, and it simultaneously feels like nothing and everything has happened. Episode 2 of “Moving to Scotland in a pandemic” ended with me about to start my new job but struggling to get the whole house selling and buying process started. So a quick recap of June-December: … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic) – Episode 3
Almost 2 months ago, I resigned from my job in order to move 450 miles north to Scotland. A reasonable person might have assumed we’d be a quite a significant way through selling our house, that we’d have put a bid in for our dream house, or that we’d be surrounded by our worldly possessions … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic) – Episode 2
I don’t have much opportunity to wear one of my many watches at the moment. Time just doesn’t seem to matter so much when you spend 23 hours of the day inside. Despite (or maybe because of) this, I decided to expand my collection and add number 20 which has a beautiful message for these … More Mr Jones Watches – All This Will Pass
Part of the reason why I haven’t posted on here this year is because I haven’t been able to share what’s been happening in my life. It’s quite hard to know what to write when I haven’t wanted to give away the huge plans that Husband and I have. Yep, we’re moving 400 miles from … More Moving to Scotland (in a pandemic)
