Scribble, for the words, and Scran, a Scottish or Northern term for food. This is my writing nook on the corner of the internet. An extension of my kitchen, a place where the thoughts and musings are entirely my own. Here, I write about the meanderings around the table and the odd adventure as I explore the mountains of Scotland or take occasional getaways.
I'm navigating a significant career shift, transitioning from a senior technology manager to an uncertain but exciting future. After nearly 30 years in IT, I'm not entirely sure what comes next. However, I intend to spend this time writing, sharing my journey through the ongoing process of creating my own cookery book.
Subscribers will get an exclusive look at excerpts and insights as I bring this personal project to life, offering a unique blend of culinary creativity and personal reflection.
Cooking, for me, is a practice—habitual and rhythmic. It’s a place where I find mindfulness and creativity, a sanctuary to escape the daily grind. If you can overlook the washing up, I like to think it’s one of the ways I contribute at home. It's a space where I grow and learn.
