Sunday scaries are wild. Someone please unplug my brain.

So excited for the London Film Festival screenings at the Glasgow Film Theatre! Anyone else got tickets over the next two weeks?

The new Taylor Swift album has its moments, but it doesn’t quite reach the heights of her past work. Some bright spots, but it doesn’t feel as timeless.

After a tough year with my accident, surgery, and recovery, it felt incredible to escape to the Highlands for a bit. Grateful for the fresh air, good memories, and finally feeling a bit more like myself again.

Morning! Perfect day to curl up on the couch with tea, snacks, and a few naps.

Holiday body confidence.

Made it back to Glasgow in one piece after a wild ride. Storm Amy’s not messing about. Safe at home now with a Chinese on the way.

On the train home from Inverness - fingers crossed Storm Amy behaves until I get there.

Quick stop in Strathpeffer.

Happy Friday! After 9 amazing days in the Highlands, it’s time to head home. Already missing these views!

Afternoon nap, wrapped on the sofa, while rain pours outside.

Coffee, rain, and the North Sea.

Charming little Dornoch.

Walked along the Oykel Viaduct at Invershin.

Lovely brunch followed by a stroll around Lairg.

Evening activity.

Lybster.

Not much going on in Wick, but I couldn’t resist snapping the station.

Latheronwheel Harbour.

Duncansby Head.

Made it all the way to John O’Groats.

Morning and happy October!

Dinner was delicious.

Brora beach, complete with sheep by the sea.

Dunrobin Castle is easily one of my favourite places of all time.

Helmsdale sunrise.

Waking up to the sound of the sea is lovely… but it also makes me need to pee.

This is lovely.

Not your average Airbnb.

Just rolled into Helmsdale.

Stunning scenery on my way to Helmsdale.

Morning! Part two of my Highlands adventure starts today. Off to Helmsdale around lunchtime for a week with family in an Airbnb.

Another bright day in Thurso. Treated myself to a late brunch and a wander.

Morning! Still buzzing from yesterday’s adventure. Today’s gonna be low-key - might hit the cinema later since Sundays are slow around here.

Hotels just hit different. Relaxed, slightly tipsy, fully thriving.

Had the best whirlwind whistle-stop tour of Orkney! Managed to see loads in just a few hours. Back to the mainland now - my feet are done for.

Quick stroll in Stromness.

The Ring of Brodgar is a sight worth seeing.

Absolutely in awe of the Italian Chapel.

Kirkwall’s a charming little town.

St Magnus Cathedral is extremely impressive.

Sailing past The Old Man of Hoy.

Off on a day trip adventure to Orkney!

Raye killed it on The Graham Norton Show. What a performance!

Wine and snacks, hotel edition.

Soaking up that fresh air.

Dunnet has to be one of the most stunning beaches I’ve ever set foot on.

My sunset photo from last night ended up on the BBC.

Thurso’s been a pleasant surprise so far.

Checked in and settled.
