This was one of mum's biggest bugbears, being blind she had dark glasses and a white stick but people seemed to not notice. One day she decided that she had had enough and would not move her stick out of the way!

I took this picture of Edinburgh Castle 10 years ago and I still enjoy how dramatic it looks in silhouette. This was my lock screen picture for quite a long time!

My grandad was an engineer from Glasgow and my older brother's special interest is space so he loves hearing about the family connection โค๏ธ

A copy of Who Wants Normal? (with its orange and yellow striped cover) stands upright on a small table. Next to it is a small snow globe with a Santa inside.
