Wee update that I've moved on from @hrcscotland.bsky.social to the Criminal Justice Committee.

Still working on very important human rights issues, with specific interest in violence against women and girls, policing, mental health, prisons and their reform, and misuse of drugs/drug policy.

A week in the Caribbean to start the year 🏝️

After a whole month off, I'm ready to go in to that office and gloat about missing the grimmest week of Scottish weather.

Snap! My wee boxes for folk 🍰

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone ❤️ and thank you to anyone who has donated to Sepsis Trust below.

Often asked what I would do if not policy, and the answer is floristry. So, here's a Christmas Eve tradition of wreaths for those no longer here.

For Ree. ❤️

Dessert and cheese board for good measure! 🧀

Was set the task of France for a Come Dine With Me this week, and in true fashion to myself, tried very very hard x

Hugely inconvenient for the Scottish Government to announce their budget as Spotify Wrapped drops and exposes the sheer amount I tune the world out for.

✨ getting into the festive spirit a bit earlier this year (can't hurt)

I think I must have travelled a good 5000 miles in total this month, so I'm rounding it off by reuniting with my pup Seamus (who has nothing but love, sparkle and adoration in his eyes). ❤️

X didn't seem like the place for this, but I wanted to share something on a much lovelier site.

This is my friend Maria and I in 2014, serving desserts to some of the UK's best writers at Wigtown Book Festival. I started my working life as Ree's sous.

In March this year, Ree suddenly passed away.

Uplands Roast in the Meadows - good at ANY time of the year, including spring (picture below!) 🌸😍

Joy levels through the roof this morning with some of my best girls ❄️

Offset our hot chocs with a donation to Shelter as well, which I hope you might consider too (if you can), they're doing brilliant work in this weather.

Post you from a different era (early 2000s - with an outfit I envy now)

Question: how does one semi skim an oat?

In my free time, I am also known to try and escape all problems by hurtling myself in the Scottish sea, or walking for hundreds of miles in other countries. ⛵

Hoping this place is successful, and much better than what X became under El*n M*sk.

I see people are introducing themselves 👇🏼

SO, I'm Lucy, based across Edinburgh and Galloway, and I lead policy at the Human Rights Consortium Scotland.

1. I love dogs
2. Team HRCS
3. Some of WiPA Scotland's work (current Co-Chair)
4. My choir! We sing soul & gospel professionally nation-wide 🎶

Wholly and utterly recommend a winter break in Prague ✨
