This was a very happy day… love the excited kiddos in the background, too (all with permission to be photographed, of course). Leah McNally, you and your colleagues inspired me and the feeling hasn’t faded!

Thoughtful international delivery today! Can't wait to dive into Kirsten Colquhoun (Col-hoon)'s new book, including a forward from Dr Haili Hughes FRSA. Adding treats from the Orkneys... divine! Ready to return to Scotland right now.
