G is for Greece ….. in 2016 I left Scotland to work in Rhodes, Greece for the summer season as a children’s rep. I only stayed for 3 months as working abroad wasnt for me and I missed home and didnt enjoy the reality of living abroad without my close friends and family. While in Greece I did meet one of my good friends and got to experience some of the culture and local food and loved it. I would definitely return for a holiday.

I is for Imaginative… I love being creative and have always loved any opportunity to be imaginative.

J is for James ….. james is the name of my teddy bear who when I was younger I built at the bear factory for my grandma and named him after my grandad James who had passed away. She used to kiss his photo every night and say goodnight so I got her james so she could have hugs from him whenever she needed. When she passed away a few years later I was given the teddy as a way to remember both her and my grandad James.

K is for kindness …. I am a firm believer in kindness and that a little kindness goes a long way. Just a small act of kindness can impact someones day in a massive way and the work could sure use more of that.

Y is for york test ….. earlier this year I had a york test done for food intolerances (as i have bad ibs, and gallstones) so wanted to find out what foods I react too.
