Disabled people are 25% of the population and yet we are still told that we are not a part of diversity.

Though there's much more conversation around mental health & wellbeing, there remains a huge amount of stigma around long term, 'severe' mental health conditions. The constant barriers, justifications, the tilts of the head, the lack of understanding... Let's talk about THIS

I seldom post on social media nowadays, but took this photo earlier in the month, and I think it is surprisingly good! Aberdeenshire at its best. #Aberdeenshire #VisitScotland

I love how if you have a pet, that pet has a name, then about 10 different variations on that name that you also call it, and then an additional 2-3 completely different nicknames. Nobody has more names than one pet. It must be quite confusing for them.
