Friend in the broadest sense, activist, green socialist, striving for a fairer world. Gardener between gardens though not for much longer hopefully. Love dogs - of course! I forgot to add puffins - they're rather wonderful, too.

The previous editor of BBC Reporting Scotland once said ‘only if Scottish Government fails a target does it get reported, anything else isn’t ‘news’’.

I love this painting.
There's such a hidden story there.

Is the painting meant to be put above the snack drawer her already chunky husband keeps raiding?
Or is she judging us through the mists of time?
