Treating myself to some cake in the @ScotParl cafe after a mammoth evidence session with @SP_Economy on skills in Scotland. @scotparl.bsky.social

It’s #WorldEncephalitisDay 🎈Nearly ten years since we almost lost our youngest son, then 5, to this awful illness. #Red4WED

Lovely warm cup of coffee in the @ScotParl before meetings with MSP today. @scotparl.bsky.social

Breath of fresh air this morning. View from Alloa town centre - the hills are looking gorgeous, with sunlight hitting some fresh snow amidst some low misty clouds.

Not ideal.

Christmas baking 🎄🍰

Queens Court @ Stirling University looking gorgeous at Christmas 🎄

Christmas concert time 🎶🎄

Freezing cold day. Lots of broken, frosted strands of cobwebs dangling from all the signs and lights caught my eye - as if silly string has been sprayed all over 🕸️

L off to the S6 Christmas formal 🎄❤️

Lovely to catch up with the @fsbscotland.bsky.social team tonight at a reception in @scotparl.bsky.social celebrating 50 years of FSB 🥳 Having been around for the 30th anniversary (I know 😳) it’s amazing to see how far the organisation has come. Always #TeamSmallBusiness 💪

All that matters in life is here ❤️ Tonight was the concert at the end of @playalloa ‘s 10 week Rock School at youth club. No impact form in the world can capture the value of the joy and achievement of these young people tonight (L doing the intro). Truly, they rock 🤘

Well Aberdeen, it’s been a blast. Chicken soup for the soul was seeing pals from school. We lost a friend far too soon this year - so determined to catch up having maybe only seen each other a handful of times in 30 years. We are all still 16 in our heads at least ❤️✨

Aberdeen. And there’s snow. 🥶
