I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

My ideal Mother’s Day morning isn’t breakfast in bed any more (the crumbs!) but this. Quick dog walk and home for coffee and to read my book. #MothersDayUK

My nature memoir explores loss, acceptance and adaptation. When menopause ends our attempts at parenthood, I find comfort in the natural world. But the joy of reconnecting to nature turns to grief as I wake up to the ecological crisis. How can I learn to care without breaking? #scotwriterpitch2025

Lucky to live in a place where I can walk dogs and catch up with friends with views like these.

From Mary Oliver
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

When I’m Old
A poem written about my grannie, born in 1910 she seemed so much older than everyone else’s grandmothers but she gave me a quiet grounding in life that I’ll always be grateful for. #poetry

Just a GenX girl trying to work out BlueSky and Substack at the same time as my old platforms burn. It’s like MySpace and Bebo all over again and a girl is now tired and perimenopausal. Send gin. #GenXstruggles

A poem contemplating that time between the end of one thing and the beginning of another and the rest and processing that needs to come in between.

When a flower doesn’t bloom you don’t try to fix the flower. I’ve done so much self help reading and research, podcasts and a literal medical diagnosis. And they have all led me to the same conclusion...

Just arrived here from the dark side and not sure I have the energy to start again in a new place!
How easy is it to find
- neurodivergent
- nature lovers
- writers
- coffee drinkers
- perimenopausal people
- walkers
Do I really have to retrain the algorithm? I’m too old for this!

Flight of the Changemakers
What if neurodivergent people are really those who, sensitive to their environment and connected to nature, are really the changemakers?

Beyond thrilled to share the cover artwork that has been chosen for Scotland’s Stories this year. Why am I so excited? Because of what lies inside! Stories (and poems) of Hope. And one of them is mine.
