Glencoe’s Blackrock Cottage, home of the Ladies Scottish Climbing Club, oldest all-woman mountaineering club still going strong. I hiked with this fab club for the summer issue of @mountains-magazine.com which is out soon, you can pre-order / find a stockist here: mountains-magazine.com #mountains

@mountains-magazine.com is one of my fave mags & it’s a thrill that a piece I’ve written will be in the summer issue. Watch this space, I’ll be sharing behind the scenes insight from a hiking adventure into the #ScottishHighlands with the Ladies Scottish Climbing Club! #MountainsMagazine

Publishing a magazine is a hugely risky and expensive business. It's therefore a massive kick in the teeth when an organisation such as @travmedia.bsky.social shortlist a (very, VERY good) website in their Travel Magazine of the Year category. Print media deserves better than this.

What procrastination looks like on a January weekday:

Hours and hours of baking, then arriving at a very quiet market. But all soul destroying feelings evaporated the moment the wind blew swathes of blossom petals swirling over me. Like spring’s Crystal Maze… #spring #blossom #bankholiday #springflowers

Christmas present of a homemade cushion proving useful to prop Quality Street up against me as I wallow in illness on the sofa… the last purple one is MINE !
