This week has made me finally realise that power of self. That sense of knowing who I truly am, what I stand for, what my values are and what my purpose in life is….Now to quietly use that power of self to keep moving forwards.

Slainte! 2/2

At the end of an extraordinary and emotional week, I’m treating myself to a very large Gin and Tonic featuring the glorious Barra gin and raising a glass to everyone who I know in the rural world for their advice, friendship and support. 1/2

Currently reading the memoirs of former NFU President Minette Batters (now Baroness Batters). Truly inspirational. What a leader she was and still is for the countryside and the agricultural industry.

This was a slow air that I composed for Carol Main MBE and who was Chief Executive of Live Music Now Scotland for 40 years until her retiral from the role in 2025. Thought @SymsFifi would like this.

@SymsFifi Well said Fi. The whole move was totally counter productive

Back on social media after taking a break to reflect and to have some space to myself. My first tweet therefore is a thank you to @SymsFifi and other folk who have all given me advice to believe in myself and to keep moving forwards. Lucky to know some very good people.
