Scottish walks are our absolute favourite 🍃🥾 , there’s just something about them that sparks the imagination.

We’d love to see a brand new Scottish location woven into an upcoming book.

And it’s got us wondering… how many of the attendees on our November writers’ retreat will be creating stories with a Scottish base of their own? ✍️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How many of your lovely followers Caroline James Author are going to join us this November at our writers retreat.

Get in touch with us at Evergreen Gatherings to get booked in, we can’t wait to welcome you to Totleywells Rural Stays for a fabulous few days with Caroline ✨

Hello everyone 👋
We’re two sisters based in West Lothian and we’re really excited to introduce ourselves!

This year we’re launching a series of craft and connection groups locally — gentle, welcoming spaces to slow down, create, and connect with other women. From cosy evenings of making and chatting to shared moments around the table, our aim is simple: meaningful time together.

We also have something very special coming later this year… an immersive Writers Retreat designed for women who have a story to tell (more on that soon 👀✍️).

If you love creativity, community, and carving out a little time for yourself, we’d love to connect with you. More details coming very soon 🌿✨

Follow along and share with someone who might need a little creative pause… more will be revealed soon. 🌿📖✨

We’re so excited to finally share our new Evergreen Gatherings logo with you 🌿

More than just a design, it symbolises who we are becoming — a reminder of the importance of slowing down, pausing, and taking time to *gather*. Whether that’s time for yourself, or time shared with others.

This little wreath represents connection, growth and creating moments that truly matter.

We can’t wait to welcome you into everything that’s ahead. 💚

📖✨ Book Club Escape – Our First Pause of 2026✨📖

There is nothing better than pressing pause on the world and escaping into a brand new story and this week we’re starting 2026 the best way we know how… with the beautiful new release by the wonderful Caroline James Author – The Arctic Cruise ❄️🛳️

I first fell in love with Caroline’s books after a completely spontaneous Audible purchase of The French Cookery School. I was transported as if I was right there, and from then on we officially joined the Cruise Club! 💙

Now we’re all set for our next literary adventure… an Arctic getaway without even leaving the sofa.

So the only real question is… which sister gets to read it first?
I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be me 😄📚

Let’s make 2026 the year of more reading, more slowing down, and more little moments of escape. 🤍✨

Our signature Festive Pavlova Wreath✨

Light as a pirouette, crisp on the outside, soft and dreamy within 🤍

Created in honour of legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova, this much-loved dessert is inspired by the grace of a ballet tutu and has roots in Australia & New Zealand and for us, it’s now become part of our own Scottish festive table, perfect for celebrations near and far 🩰❄️

This December, we were delighted to create special Pavlova Wreaths as prizes for lucky winners from Mariposa Studios’ Christmas story shows. It was truly wonderful to see the magic created by Eilidh and Caitlin come to life on stage, brought together by so many incredible dancers and helpers, and we were delighted to support it in our own sweet way ✨

Even more special was watching our beautiful niece take to the stage in her own ballerina dress — a celebration of dance, family and festive moments, and yes, incredibly proud aunties 🎄🤍

Yesterday we made a conscious choice to slow things down 🤍
We switched off social media, stepped away from emails and messages, and gave ourselves permission to simply be.

What a change in pace that was.
Time felt gentler. Moments felt fuller. Conversations deeper.
It reminded us how lovely it is to be present, without the constant pull of notifications.

It’s something we’ll be striving to do more of going forward — protecting pockets of time to reconnect, recharge, and truly treasure every moment ✨

Sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do… is switch off.
