Just for a bit of fun, and by way of getting to know the person behind RHP a bit more, here's 20 things you may not have known about me!

• I'm an Australian who first fell in love with a Scotsman, then fell in love with Scotland.
• I have three beautiful daughters aged 16, 11 and 7 - yes, we spread them out, and yes, it took us the best part of 13 years to be out of the nappies and buggies phase!
• I adore musical theatre. I’m soon to be the president of my local Amateur Musical Productions Company, and I'm now a regular performer at the Edinburgh Fringe.
• I love crochet, sewing costumes and calligraphy.
• Photography has been a way for me to capture all those moments with my family that I desperately don’t want to forget - the tiny details that can so easily blur into the years.
• I have played flute and piano for as long as I can remember and have recently started learning cello, it's awesome.
• I can wiggle each of my ears independently of the other... Yep, proper freak.
• My only post-school formal qualifications are in performing arts, specifically musical theatre!
• My favourite photo shoot to date was for a band, with a bright red sofa on Coogee Beach in Sydney… I was in the band, too! (we weren’t very good)
• When my kids were small I taught myself to face-paint and I love it!
• I love reading fantasy novels. My current favourite is the Sarah J Maas Acotar series... I'm on my second read of it!
• On that note, my favourite bookshop is Far From the Madding Crowd in Linlithgow. Sally's recommendations are awesome. Give her a personality type, and she'll find the perfect book.
• I love gardening, but am almost entirely a stick-it-in-and-see-if-it-grows kind of gardener, but it's worked for me so far, so woo hoo!.
• I once sang a song called 'I Can Cook Too' to a live audience dressed as a barmaid while dancing in roller skates and balancing a tray of drinks. (There's a video, but unfortunately [fortunately!] no photos!)
• My other favourite photoshoot was a boudoir shoot for a lady who'd had breast cancer and difficulties with reconstruction. It was all about getting her confidence back... They're still some of my most favourite photos.
• I love Star Trek. My favourite series so far is Deep Space Nine. But I've also recently enjoyed Discovery and Piccard.
• I’ve a soft spot for Community Building and Development – building resilience in communities through shared knowledge, resources and expertise. I have my Grandparents to thank for that - they were pillars of their local community.
• I can [and do] literally spend hours in the bath. I can turn the hot tap on and off with my feet, which is perfect really.... Though more perfect if there's also a gin and tonic in my hand!
• I love photographing people and have in my time photographed adults, children, babies, pregnant women, weddings, dancers, actors and taken pictures for local businesses and voluntary organisations – about the only photography I’m not a massive fan of doing is landscapes… I’ve even photographed a homebirth! (And yes, it was AMAZING!)
