Hi

I’m Penelope, a writer based in the Scottish Highlands.

Welcome to my site! I’m interested in the experience of being human – the richness of life, the ups and downs, the ironies and delights; things I observe in others, things I see in myself – and that’s what I write about. Enjoy your reading!
