Notes from Mrs Williamson
Mr Williamson asked me to fill in for him this week. He’s very busy in Tokyo “working” i.e. hanging out at the Apple store, dining at Birdland (the best yakitori place on the planet) and shopping at my favorite Tokyo housewares store (Tokyu Hands) for a second toothpick holder for me so that I have […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Miss the Occupier
I guess a lot of folk read blogs to find something new and exciting and I must admit that before I started the Peenko website I tried to be a bit of hipster. Sadly, the thrill of the chase can be a lot more exciting than the end product. Being able to say you were […]

Silver Columns – Live Footage and Interview from Homegame 2010

Dear Scotland – The Mixtape: Volume 1
Like many expat Scots, I find myself talking about Scotland a lot. And aside from the standard conversations about golf, whisky or Braveheart the subject of Scottish music frequently arises.
