So impressed by your book and your bravery and determination to keep going despite all kinds of difficulties. Best wishes for the book tour - required reading for anyone who cares about the city of Glasgow.

Are you coming up to Inverness?

Well done to you! You have your own book! That’s exciting. Such determination and passion, it’s lovely! I’m visiting Glasgow in early summer, if you have any recommendations for vegan places, interesting places to visit or must do’s when in Glasgow your recommendations would be welcome 😀
