You shouldn’t have favourites… but the #TonicArts work of the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social gives me all sorts of feel good vibes!

Isn’t this lovely?

(PS: I love the #GreenSpace work too).

Violinist and guitarist playing together.

I can’t find accounts for the Edinburgh International Festival here (though @edfringe.bsky.social is here) nor for the children’s hospital charity, so I can’t tag them.

This was a collaboration though between them all.

Isn’t it nice when good things come together?

Well that was lovely!

I’m sure there will be official photos to follow but I popped in to the @nhslothian.bsky.social hospital for children & young people today.

Nicola Benedetti was playing a wee concert for patients & staff.

Art installation hanging from a ceiling.

This wonderful art installation was apparently designed by local Primary School children. It’s in the main foyer, which is lovely and spacious.

Art in hospitals is another whole interesting topic!

I absolutely LOVED my visit to the community hospital on Thursday!

Part of my work involves being a trustee with the @nhslothcharity.bsky.social and it was wonderful to get out and meet some of the team on a glorious sunny day.

I’m looking forward to visiting one of the dance classes in East Lothian later this month.

I think it sounds fun!

Meantime, back to the community hospital in Midlothian this afternoon for some tunes on the harp.
