Soundcards
Hi, thanks for visiting...
This blog is a collection of stories, snaps and soundcards from my life in the Scottish Highlands. I hope you enjoy what you see, hear and read here.
A wee bit about me...
I moved to the Highlands in 2017 and work as a communications coordinator for a not-for-profit organisation in the education sector.
My background is in radio. Prior to moving to Scotland, I worked as a reporter, producer and presenter for Australia's national broadcaster. I've lived in outback Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Sydney.
Some things I like: hill-walking, sketching, cooking, camping, languages, whisky, bird watching, podcasts and photography (all the photos here have been taken on my old iPhone). I also really like people - I spend a lot of time chatting with strangers in pubs!
A note about the Soundcards
The audio postcard ('soundcard') element of this blog is a project I started specifically for my Nan, who lives in Australia.
Nan has dementia and she could no longer read the written postcards I was sending to her. She doesn't recognise my face any more, but I'd like to think she still remembers my voice.
