I am putting myself forward because of the strong links I have with every part of the constituency. I clearly believe that I am the best person for the role. Whoever is chosen, you’re getting a brilliant representative. #Councillor #CouncillorLife

Delighted that I’m one of three wonderful women who have been nominated as prospective candidates for the SNP in the Edinburgh Easter, Musselburgh and Tranent constituency. @snp.org

Does anyone else have a dog that bullies them for a drink of tea? Here’s Victor. She loves tea! Not for any other drinks or foods. Just good Scottish blend tea. FYI, there’s never more than a dribble. I am aware it’s not good for dogs. I do love my dogs and make sure their welfare comes first.

My monthly surgery in Gladsmuir is one I really look forward to. So peaceful! #CouncillorLife

New here. I’m hoping for positive and meaningful engagement. How’s things with you?
