This week's @heraldscotland column is one of the most vulnerable l've written - moving here has completely changed my perspective on so many things, but the change I didn't expect was my attitude towards my own body.
'Not a single person sucked in their stomach. No one looked away. No one apologised for their body. They just were. And it felt wonderful.' 🏊♀️. @ElleDuffy_

“This is how island life works. You take on roles that you never even considered existed. One job leads to another, plans shift with the weather, and days take on a shape of their own.”. I wrote about fixing up an old phone box on Rum last week in this week’s @heraldscotland ☎️👇🏻

“It was good to visit, but it was even better to come home.”. I wasn’t sure what to expect when visiting the mainland for the first time since moving out to Rúm, but I didn’t anticipate it being so stressful. Maybe I’m a bit too used to the slower way of living now… new column👇🏻.

🗞️ “I haven't had an excuse to get dressed up for much since moving, but for the bins, I make an exception” . We don’t have bin lorries here - it’s just me, my waterproofs and a trip to the skips at the pier. And I love it. @heraldscotland

💞 “The commercialism that encompasses a city isn’t here; instead, that feeling of giving is woven into the socks we crochet and the banana bread we bake.”. Don’t get me wrong, I love Valentine’s Day - and on the Isle of Rum, it feels pretty special. My latest column 👇🏻.
My island is Scotland's most romantic place says @ElleDuffy_ @heraldscotland @VisitScotland #hebrides #Scotland #Highlands.
