I had an amazing life moment in the Queen’s Hall this morning, listening to Sheku Kanneh Mason playing his cello with the brilliant Harry Baker on piano. What a pair they are. Brimming with talent and so much potential for the future. Listening to music live cannot be beaten.

And then we got to meet him and felt totally blessed.

I had one of those incredible life moments in the Queen’s Hall this morning at the Sheku Kanneh Mason concert. There is nothing like hearing music live. It was SO beautiful.

And then we got to meet him afterwards too. We felt totally blessed.

This month we’re celebrating Edinburgh’s Best Life Coach - Kat Shearer! Kat is such a positive life force. She has the perfect energy for coaching and helping her clients to fulfil all their potential. Kat’s first ‘proper’ job was at Dickins many moons ago. She spent two summers helping me over the Festival and we laughed as hard as we worked. We’re proud to see her career develop and are so delighted she’s taken the plunge to go solo. ⚡️❤️⚡️

Moray Place magic. More wisteria on railings. It’s funny how when you see something once, you spot another soon afterwards. 🤩

Haar - a great Scottish word for the sea fog which can descend over Edinvurgh from April to September when warm air passes over the cold North Sea.

Charming Cockburn Street has always been one of my favourites. Is it one of yours too?

Isn’t this clever? I’ve never seen wisteria on railings before and it’s a genius idea. 💜

Which tulips do you prefer? The fringed tulips or the flame tulips?

I am so thrilled with my Asda tulips! Bringing so much joy every time I’m in my garden! 🌷

Lovely New Town corners. New Town Deli has served us very well for many years - perhaps decades? Their breakfast rolls are the best and I love their salads at lunchtime. 🥓 🥬🍅🥖
