My astounding best friend @Eatingartefacts is speaking next Friday as part of @ToppingsEdin Events about her newest book - ‘The Dead of Winter, the demons, witches and ghosts of Christmas’. She is a fantastic writer covering a fascinating topic - hope to see you there! #Edinburgh

Shout out to @VolunteerEdi for their great promotion of the Volunteer Fair this year. Not only have I seen their fresh, engaging design all over the city this year, but our @VintageVibesEd team really noticed a difference in footfall from the last few years. Great job! 💛

Happy 9th Birthday @VintageVibesEd! You have been the source of so much joy, so many learnings, so many new experiences and so many friendships - for me personally and for hundreds of local volunteers and isolated older people. A wonderful milestone to celebrate 💛💛💛 #Edinburgh

What a fantastic opportunity to amplify the voices of local older people in Edinburgh 💛
A huge thank you to @kaukabstewart MSP, Minister for Equalities for helping us to celebrate Older Peoples' Day today by joining our fabulous VIP Voices group, where over 60s meet share their views on current topics affecting older people. Thank you! #OlderPersonsDay

On my way to stomp around Edinburgh for 21 miles to tackle isolation in local lonely older people. So proud of my @VintageVibesEd @thekiltwalk teammates and all the training they have done over the past 6 months! Let’s do this! 💛💛💛

Today is our @VintageVibesEd six monthly ‘What we’ve heard, What we’ve done, What we’re doing’ workshop (with ice cream). It’s always a fantastic experience to see how we’ve listened and innovated, and to reflect on VIP/Volunteer feedback. This quote brought a smile to my day:

Why join the third sector? Because you have the great fortune to make a difference working alongside with those with the best minds *and* the best hearts. What my Monday morning currently looks like…

Another practice walk today - 13 miles (though I walked home so actually 15 miles!). This time in my new yellow “kilt”.
I have achy feet but a happy heart 💛
I’m walking 21 miles for The Kiltwalk to celebrate the life of my wonderful Grannie and raise funds for @VintageVibesEd
If anyone would like to sponsor me a wee bit then here is the Kiltwalk Link: justgiving.com/fundraising/g… 💛
