There’s something profoundly moving about our ancestral belonging; shared history, stories & memories that endure over the years & indeed, centuries I was reminded of this last night at the first of Anam Alba’s Heritage nights, sharing a passion for Scottish stories, music & song It was beautiful

Music sessions always fill me with joy ‘This makes the sound of the sea’ ‘Yes, it does’ ‘If we add the thunder sound to it then we’d make the sound of a stormy ocean’ ‘Yes we would. Would you like to do that?’ ‘Yes, I’d like to make that sound effect’ So that’s what we did Music & imagination ❤️

I went for a walk today. I haven't done that in months. Truth is I haven't been that well for a while. But I went for a walk and I'm glad I did because I came back and for the first time in ages, I sat at the piano and wrote music. Every piece connected to Robert Burns

On #WorldDiabetesDay2024 I'm thinking of all the incredible people I've met along this journey & the many friends I've made I think of my dad who lived almost 60 years with #T1Diabetes This is community My life is better for that (even if my sugars are not playing tonight)💙

Not actually ever painted properly before I went to a community art class & did this For an hour no worry or anxiety entered my head Everyone should have access to the arts in all forms The arts should be celebrated, shared & be one of the last things to be subjected to funding cuts
