Meet hill-loving, dream-chasing Lorna Bray: on the beauty & struggle of building a new life in the Highlands

from Kincraig Cares · host Suzy Bashford Haworth

Today’s guest is the lovely Lorna Bray and I loved this chat because it just shows how, as neighbours, we can live so near each other.... and yet not know how much we have in common, until we sit down and have a proper, meaty conversation. Turns out we are both big fans of being honest and keeping it real in a world of insta-perfect grids; even though Lorna is actually an expert in curating these grids, with her popular account @gurl_on_the_hill and in her comms work at Education Scotland.We get straight into the meat and no topic is taboo here: the struggle to make friends as an adult; building back after divorce; dealing with her daughter’s diagnosis; dealing with her own anxiety; therapy; falling in love and second marriage; the challenge of moving to a small community where your other half is already well known and a big personality… And more!Of course, being a community podcast we also talk about where Lorna has got her appreciation of community and why she, pretty much on moving to Kincraig, took on writing the village News and Events Facebook page.I hope you enjoy getting to know Lorna as much as I did. Do say hello if you see her around; she loves nothing more than hearing a bit of Kincraig news :) Kincraig Cares podcast is being made on a shoe string out of love, so is very grateful for free resources which make this possible, like the intro and out music which is called 'Holiday Ukulele' by MaxKoMusic, promoted by www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ and part of the Creative Commons Attributions-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0)
