Description

Hello there,
My name is Kathleen and I live in Scotland, where the summers are beautiful and I swim in the sea and pootle around the hills and glens, with the scent of heather and baaing sheep filling the air.
However! The winters, now they're a different story. Long, dark, cold and wet, which is why I am now a Workawayer!
I love all things nature, and live in a wee cottage overlooking the Galloway hills and Irish Sea, where I work as a writer, and part time antiques dealer.
If you wanted to know more, you could take a look at my book Devorgilla Days, all about my life in Scotland's national book town, or at my Instagram account @poshpedlar where you will find images and accounts of my day to day life...
I am curious about the world, and ready for new adventures and experiences.

More details about your skills

I've been an air hostess, antiques dealer, and published author.
I currently write in a wee studio in my garden in Scotland. But the good thing is, I can do that anywhere, I think you call that being a 'digimad'!
My cottage is 200 years old and I am currently renovating it, and at the same time tackling the unruly garden. I know about plants and garden design and horticulture in general. I have waved my magic wand over several dilapidated and tired properties, and know lots about how to care for and rescue them using traditional tried and tested methods.
My friends would say that I am a decent home cook, and I enjoy eating healthily, and like to try new recipes and ingredients.
I also run several Instagram accounts, and can introduce you to the pros and cons, and get your own account up and running, so you can perhaps publicise events, open a shop, or fundraise.
I'm a quick learner and open to most things,.. maybe not hod carrying.
My energy is positive, I'm a cup half full, seize the day sort of person, honest, caring and trustworthy.
