Everyone here should be familiar with my gorgeous pup Stan. A slight departure from my usual food content but this is a serious issue which needs some attention so bear with this long post. I'll be honest, we were so naive when we got Stan. We found him on Gumtree, exchanged emails with a “woman” who was unavailable when we turned up to collect him, we were told he was from Hungary and that he had a puppy passport and there was no mother present. By the time we arrived we were too far in and had fallen head over heels for this timid little sensitive soul who was hiding from the other boisterous pups. We bought him anyway. It turned out he had demodex (a type of mange) which meant his fur was thinning - like a dog version of alopecia which we discovered when we took him to the vets. At this point, if they were ringing before, the alarm bells we're going like the clappers and I left the vets in tears thinking we were going to need to return him, but then the thought of giving him back to people who clearly hadn't been taking care of him broke my heart even more. But these people had our money and all of our details - home address, telephone number etc and we were scared of the repercussions that reporting them might lead to. I boldly contacted them and they gave us some of our money back and we put that towards getting him the treatment he so desperately needed. It took six weeks and quite a bit of money (far more than they'd given us back) to have him treated and much longer to bring this lovely boy out of his timid shell to turn him into the handsome, glossy, friendly, diva dog that he is today. Whilst I can never regret getting him I am ashamed that we didn't take the sensible precautions or use a bit of common sense when getting him - we could well have funded them bringing more pups into the country. The Scottish Government has launched a new campaign @buyapuppysafely and website to help people safely buy a puppy so you don't make the same mistakes we did - we were lucky that Stan is otherwise healthy and alive to show you his charm and big personality as 1 in 4 of these types of pups don't survive. Remember - www.buyapuppysafely.org

Took inspo from the Queen of hangs @littlemoonandco and made my own (and my very first ever wreath I've owned) myself with divine smelling eucalyptus and some red berries. Feeling verrrrrrr sophisticated with this on my front door 💁🏼‍♀️ #festiveaf

Garlic bread makes everything better. But over 10 years since he cracked some joke, I still can't say it without doing a Peter Kay voice 😅 . . . . . . #foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpics #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #devourpower #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #igersedinburgh #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger #garlicbread

I've seriously lost my mojo with cooking, food photos & posting recently. I'm hoping it might come back soon. I'm hoping the arrival of my Christmas tree will lift the winter blues & make it feel more like Christmas rather than just dreich cold winter!

If it says coriander, I'm having it. Lovely vegetable udon noodles (with aforementioned promised coriander) at @restorationyard at @dalkeith_country_park last week. . . . . . . #foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpics #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #devourpower #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #igersedinburgh #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger #udonnoodles #corianderlover
