I’m moving to Skye

Public service announcement-I am moving to Skye, living in a little cottage with a studio in the garden, joining the mountain rescue and climbing hills every chance I get.

Ugh, okay maybe I’m not, well not yet….. But after my most recent trip to Skye I am really really tempted. The urge to pack up and live more remotely, has in recent years grown a lot. The idea of living in such beautiful landscapes and getting to go out and explore is hard not to crave.

I’m the kind of girl who obsesses, so yes, Alison heard ‘I’m moving to Skye’ every 5 minutes for our 4 day trip. Once I get an idea in my head it’s hard to shake, the grass is always greener (But for real the grass is so green on skye, when the sun hits it GLOWS)

Once I got back home I obviously continued on the I’m moving to Skye train, but I took a minute to think. To think about my life in Edinburgh and how much I’ve changed and grown since living here. I love Edinburgh, I love the community I’ve found myself in, the friends I’ve made and the City so much.

So, Public service announcement no.2- I’m not done with City life just yet. There are things I want to do to challenge myself and try to fulfill the potential I know I have. I want to run workshops, I want to have an exhibition, I want to apply for funding and go on residencies, I want try new things and learn new skills, Edinburgh has such a great creative community and I’m not done yet.

Plus I actually need to save some pennies so I can buy a cottage on Skye and fulfill Public service announcement no.1.

A girl can dream right, well there we go, a brain dump for anyone who is reading!

P.S Please come to a workshop when I run one….

P.P.S I feel confident in myself today but my next post will most likely be about how imposter syndrome is real, it’s a working progress.
