I've always wanted to get a picture of my lorry underneath a dancing sky. Well, on Monday 27th February 2023 - I got my dream shots!! π€© Sconser Quarry, Isle of Skye #auroraborealis #northernlights #isleofskye #scottishhighlands #scania #truckdriver #femaledriver #lovemyjob

This was the scene between Drumnadrochit & Abriachan on the A82 late this morning. Massive thanks to @NWTrunkRoads & to @northernPolice for keeping the road network flowing as best they could in such challenging conditions, allowing us to get road salt delivered to other places.

The job I've been the most proud to work on & be part of. ππΌππΌ Am so glad the lady will be ok too.
Quite a monumental moment today. After a lot of hard work from the Applecross community in raising funds for this life saving helicopter pad in the community, our Inverness Search & Rescue helicopter was the first one using it today. Brilliant work. #applecross

Really stunning day on Friday to run road salt from Inverness to Applecross in my 8/w tipper truck, alongside my Dad in his artic. Look at those views! π #LoveMyJob #FemaleTrucker #TipperTruck #ScottishHighlands

Day 157 of isolation. (What do you mean it's only been a week??) Made pancakes. Moral of the story? Be more clear in your instructions of how you want them..... πππ

Nothing like waking up in your cosy cab, wrapped up in a really warm duvet, listening to the hailstones pelt off the cab roof. Not so much rocked gently to sleep last night as shoogled to sleep. π Lorry driving in winter has its charms. π #LoveMyJob

How to give a dog walker the the shock of their life: Open your lorry door to pour the remaining water out your kettle and say "Good morning" as they walk past in the pitch dark. Await their response of "F**k! You're a lassie!!" No shit, Sherlock!!! πππ

Last week was a massive achievement for me because I became the first female lorry driver at MacKenzie & MacLennan Haulage, Gairloch. Looking forward to my future with them - childhood dream come true! π How ace does my lorry look? π #TruckDriver #LadiesWhoLorry #Scania

Today I entered a new decade. Got a few things ticked off the before-40 bucket list (lorry licences, bus licence). Still haven't been on a hot air balloon ride or visited New York though..... Anyway, this is the closest to birthday cake I was getting tonight as I'm all on my own!

Absolutely DELIGHTED today when this happened!! ππ Bring on the artics! Class 1 = 1st Class. Can't recommend M.D. Fiddes Training & instructors Cammy & Mike enough. Having RA wasn't really going to stop me. I'm on such a high right now!! ππ

Had a great day out with @Pointfc1934 today. Gutted the guys didn't win - they were the better team in the first half! Here's the Westerbus watching the Loch Seaforth heading back to Lewis. Hope the heads aren't too sore tomorrow lads! Maybe see you next year? π

I've managed a few different places this week. Sunday was the Loch Maree area, Wednesday was Dingwall (in the big bus!!) & today I was in Ullapool. On Saturday I'm getting the big bus again to take some footballers to a game on the Black Isle. It's not a bad office to have! ππ

Loving hearing that my teen's first week in new job as an apprentice mechanic at an Inverness garage has gone well. He's got so much enthusiasm & is keen to learn. Long may it continue. Very proud of him for working hard at college this past year & gaining this opportunity. π
