Would you like to do Christmas differently this year? Slow down, connect - feel like you have space to enjoy what's actually important instead of joining in the mad rush?

Then why not join our cozy Christmas reset at the stunning Lochwood House, Lochgoilhead, on the weekend of 27-29 Nov?

A beautiful gathering with brilliant women, immersing in nature, breathing, moving, wild swimming, wild sauna, forest therapy, qi gong, mindfulness, Christmas craft & music.

We'll be consciously slowing down instead of joining in the often mad Christmas rush, and taking part in Citizen Friday - a gentle rebellion against Black Friday consumerism, where people choose community over chaos.

🌿This is your invitation to choose calm over the rush.

🕉 Comment below or DM me for details. Spaces are limited so reach out soon if you'd like to join us. We hope you can. ✨️

Did you know that the 'Right to Roam' movement started in the East End of Glasgow? Or that the Clyde used to have a vibrant swimming community? Or that the burn that St Mungo founded the city on, that ran right through the city, was built over and is now hidden from view? Just a few of the incredible things I learned during 'Our Dear Green Commons' workshop at the brilliant galgael at the weekend.

We learned from urban commons movements seeking co-created alternatives to gentrification and privatisation, asking what’s needed most in these times of polarisation, conflict, and systemic unravelling. The vision? Viewing the commons as vital infrastructures of care and mutual support.  

Some Highlights included:

🌊 Reimagining the River Clyde: Davey Anderson shared details on , a project radically reimagining our relationship with the river. What if we could swim in the Clyde again? Imagine we could drink from the river? If we could help her heal, rest and recover?  What if we listened to the river’s needs? Clyde Alive has produced a beautiful manifesto for the Clyde and what she could become once more. IMy bookclub's reading Elif Shafak's 'There are Rivers in the Sky' at the moment (which is amazing!), and this session really resonated, especially as they touched on 'daylighting' the Molendinar Burn - had literally never heard of this a few months ago and now it's everywhere ✨️

✊ Reclaiming Political Commons - Eva Schonveld () explored how local governance doesn't have to be boring or frustrating, and how we can address shared trauma around power without scaring people away.

🍎 Orchards & Land as Commons - Fergus Walker from highlighted small-scale, cooperative food growing as a blueprint for community land ownership. 

❤️‍🩹 Health Justice - Toby Pepperrell broke down health inequities, enclosures, and how urban agroecology can support decentralised public health sovereignty.

Such a powerful reminder that another way of connecting, growing, and caring for our shared spaces is possible and necessary.

Thanks GalGael for a brilliant event 👏

It was a real pleasure supporting the ' and 's swim this morning to raise awareness of their new 'Clean Water Bill'.

For water users (and everyone), it's a must if we want to continue to enjoy the many benefits of Scotland's beautiful bodies of water.

The pro­posed Clean Water Bill would aim to ensure all of Scot­land’s rivers and lochs are clean and safe for nature, swim­ming and recre­ation.

The Bill would enforce a require­ment of 100% mon­it­or­ing of sewage over­flows and set stat­utory require­ments for action when pol­lu­tion is recor­ded (really not too much to ask!).

It would also place tighter con­trols on chem­ic­als used in and around water­ways.

I'm sure many of you feel the same - I've found it utterly heartbreaking to see what's happened to England's lakes, rivers and seas and I agree we need to do all we can to protect our precious waters in Scotland 🌊💪💙

Would you like to see this Bill passed? 🌊

Hope everyone is hanging in there and enjoying all the gorgeous gifts of winter nature to stay on an even keel. I've been in hibernation for the past while and the resurgence of an old injury has meant little swimming for me this winter, sadly.

But, this memory from a few years ago in the Highlands just brought back all the feels ❄️
An impromtu swim in a little lochan nestled in the hills with nothing on but my hat. ❄️

On another note, you may have noticed the website's down at the moment. I'm currently redesigning it with a more ethical platform after realising the previous one didn't cut it. It'll be back up and running soon enough with more adventures coming soon. 🏔

Ps.... it's obvs ill advised to jump into snowy lochans with only your hat unless you ken what you're doing and are with others 😉

Last week, we joined the Scottish Rewilding Alliance at the Scottish Parliament (honestly, never away fae the place!), standing together behind a bold vision — for Scotland to become the world’s first Rewilding Nation. (Romy even made the news! 🐾)

Rewilding's already transforming landscapes, restoring wildlife, and strengthening communities across Scotland. Now, with leadership and ambition, Scotland can show the world what’s possible when people and nature thrive together. 🌎💚
