Happily retired and living in the Scottish Borders. I love art, nature, gardening, flower arranging, trying out new recipes, and spending time with my husband and our Westies (Henry and Lily).

Scotland needs more carers, but Westminster is driving them away.
Labour’s hostile immigration plans and their tax on jobs are hammering Scotland’s social care sector.
With the fresh start of independence, we can build a migration system suited to our needs and interests.

Today I'm facing up to the fact that I need my right knee replacing. The pain is just how I remember it in the left knee from 10 to 12 years ago before I had it replaced.
Back to walking with a stick for support. 😭
Seeing a GP tomorrow to beg for a cortisone injection. Wish me luck.

Honoured to march with the STUC through Glasgow against racism, and for a fair and diverse country that we must remain.

Scotland is a nation, and like every nation, we have the right to decide our own future.
With independence, we can lower energy bills, we can protect our NHS in a written constitution, and gain our own seat at the EU table.
Real hope, in your hands.

Tackling child poverty is my driving mission - and thanks to our actions, Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.
Glad that Labour was finally shamed into doing the right thing.

Labour came in promising to cut energy bills by £300. Now they’re almost £200 higher, and they trumpet a change that won’t even cover the increase since they took office.
Is this really it??
Scotland deserves better than this chaos. A fresh start with independence. 🏴
