A totally brilliant day visiting the new Loch Garten Nature Centre, meeting @cairngormsCEO and going to visit some of the habitat management @RSPBLochGarten Abernethy reserve. Socially distant meeting, with coffee, in a forest - if Carlsberg did meetings.....

@jowhiley @AndrewMarr9 @BBCOne Thank you, Jo. Yesterday's govt announcement about being able to go into care homes to hold hands with a loved one also neglects to understand the specific needs of people with LDs, like my daughter who simply wants to come HOME. Wishing you & your sister the very best โค๏ธ
