After all, who are we, the great uneducated, to question her omnipotence? – Joyce, Finding Joy
We are all at risk of catching Lyme disease but some occupations and hobbies put you at a higher risk. So being asked to write an article for the Scottish Gamekeepers is particularly meaningful to me and I hope my words will resonate with those reading and hopefull raise the profile of Lyme disease withing the gamekeeping community.
Huge thanks to Kate Forbes who has been working to help raise the cause of Lyme disease in the Scottish Parliament. I was very pleased to get to speak with the minister for public health – it was a very constructive and beneficial conversation and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
I feel like I’ve been here there and everywhere at the moment and I’m adoring every minute of it! It’s been wonderful to meet such incredible people here at the WEA conference where I spoke about the challenges of reentering education after having Lyme disease and the importance of groups, which go out of there way to support people to learn and progress such as theirs.
What a treat too to be given such beautiful flower as a thank you.

I feel so fortunate to be able to share my experince of Lyme disease during the Find A Cure conferance. It’s so wonder to see organisations like this, which constantly fight to raise awareness forconditions and to find a cure for them, raising awareness for Lyme. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your event.
I’ve been just bouncing with excitement for this event. I’m so so pleased to have been asked to speak at Ness BookFest. This completely free event is the epitome of what literature should be about…and I’m so proud to be apart of it.
What a treat to be in the paper as part of Bookends Festival
I’m so excited for this event! Nairn is a special place to me so to get to do another evetn here just makes it all the more special.
I am almost giddy with excitment…not only do I get to give a talk to the students about Lyme disease but I get to teach a creative writing workshop afterward! I just adore teaching creative writing and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to teach. Have a read of what the teachers and students thought here.
I’ve had such a magical time here. It’s been such a pleaure to speak to you all. It was a really remarkable day in which some very brave people opened up about thier Lyme stories and shared then with us all. I’m so delighted that Finding Joy has found a home in all you’re hearts like she had in mine.
I had so much fun during this interview and I’m now even moe excited for my time in Oban where I’ll be attending a number of events.
