My astounding best friend @Eatingartefacts is speaking next Friday as part of @ToppingsEdin Events about her newest book - ‘The Dead of Winter, the demons, witches and ghosts of Christmas’. She is a fantastic writer covering a fascinating topic - hope to see you there! #Edinburgh
Shout out to @VolunteerEdi for their great promotion of the Volunteer Fair this year. Not only have I seen their fresh, engaging design all over the city this year, but our @VintageVibesEd team really noticed a difference in footfall from the last few years. Great job! 💛
Happy 9th Birthday @VintageVibesEd! You have been the source of so much joy, so many learnings, so many new experiences and so many friendships - for me personally and for hundreds of local volunteers and isolated older people. A wonderful milestone to celebrate 💛💛💛 #Edinburgh
A huge thank you to @kaukabstewart MSP, Minister for Equalities for helping us to celebrate Older Peoples' Day today by joining our fabulous VIP Voices group, where over 60s meet share their views on current topics affecting older people. Thank you! #OlderPersonsDay
On my way to stomp around Edinburgh for 21 miles to tackle isolation in local lonely older people. So proud of my @VintageVibesEd@thekiltwalk teammates and all the training they have done over the past 6 months! Let’s do this! 💛💛💛

Today is our @VintageVibesEd six monthly ‘What we’ve heard, What we’ve done, What we’re doing’ workshop (with ice cream). It’s always a fantastic experience to see how we’ve listened and innovated, and to reflect on VIP/Volunteer feedback. This quote brought a smile to my day:
We're excited to be @SpaceBroomhouse's street party today! Thank you to @Edfringe for the fabulous entertainment and @peaceintheneighbourhood for transforming our quiet room into a fabulous space for visitors to relax and enjoy a little magic! #space#BroomhouseStreetParty
We absolutely love this photo. Choose life. Choose living life to the full. Choose friendships. Choose community. Choose individuality. Choose fun. Choose joy. Choose hope.
…And if you have a spare hour a week, choose to get involved in Vintage Vibes. 💛
We're looking for a Policy Engagement & Campaigns Officer to join our team @agescotland. If policy development, engagement with older people and groups, campaigns, and political affairs is in your skill set, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks @SpaceBroomhouse ❤️
Another practice walk today - 13 miles (though I walked home so actually 15 miles!). This time in my new yellow “kilt”.
I have achy feet but a happy heart 💛
I’m walking 21 miles for The Kiltwalk to celebrate the life of my wonderful Grannie and raise funds for @VintageVibesEd
