This Is Who I Am

I lived for many years in Aberdeenshire and the skyline is Bennachie and Mither Tap, the second skyline is The Cat's Back above Strathpeffer near to where I live now, in Marybank. The symbols are the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella which I have walked from Chartres and The Northern Pilgrims' Way from Tain to Kirkwall which I helped develop. The boots are one of my modes of travel and the Mazda MX5 is the other. I love them both equally.

Join Marilyn as she discusses the inspiration behind her journey stone in conversation with Smartify.

I was torn between wanting to do something about my local area, i.e. here, and something about me...so, my journey stone has got my car on it and it has profiles on it of the Cat's Back...and also The Gordon Way, Bennachie...where we lived before we came here.
