It’s just over a year since A Last Journey was published and it’s been quite a year. I’ve been busy giving talks and readings all over Scotland to dementia groups, carers, Meeting Centres, the University of the Third Age, and Probus. I’ve been on the radio and taken part in an online seminar at Dundee University.

My most recent talk was at Probus in Longniddry with a very receptive audience.

I’m also a member of Edinburgh Festival Theatre’s Focus group for their dementia programme and discuss and suggest ideas with them. I also write the Hidden Lives column for their DementiArts magazine.

And to add even more, I’m part of the Haddington singing group who entertain at care homes and other social groups throughout East Lothian.

No wonder it’s been a busy and very satisfying year!
