I had such a nice day at Ablerold today. It was a pleasure to speak with so many people about Lyme disease and Finding Joy. I had such good fun with the other stall holders too. The highlight was meeting a wonderful lady who was given my book by her hairdresser and after reading Finding Joy she went out and bought more copies to give to others! What a beautiful thing to hear – it warmed my heart.

Talk in Ullapool
A massive thanks to Ullapool Rotary Club for inviting me to give a talk on Finding Joy and Lyme disease. What a fun and wonderfully welcoming group of people! It’s great to see some familiar faces from the first talk I did in Ullapool a few months back.
It was a pleasure to do the talk with the microbiologist Dr Heike Gehringer.

Talk to pupils at Fortrose Academy
I was so excited to go to Fortose Academy to give a talk to the 5th year students.

Fundraising for Lyme disease.
Just over a year ago my incredible friend Gordon Ferguson and his fantastic family Annemarie Downie, Allan Downie and Irene Downie took up the challenge of a 27 mile kayak challenge from Loch Oich to Dores. They raised an amazing amount of £2,500 for Lyme Disease.
So proud of you all.
