A Glasgow woman who walked around the coastline of the UK for a year in memory of her wife who died of blood cancer is finally enjoying a well earned rest.

Tracey Howe has been travelling the country in her motorhome and sharing stories about Angela who passed away in September 2023.

Angela died of blood cancer two years ago.

She told Cool FM: "Angela was a mental health nurse and counsellor who believed in talking therapy, I've been speaking to lots of people on my journey about my grief.

"I'm sure she'd be very pleased about that."

Tracey has raised over £50,000 for a number of charities including the Beatson Cancer Centre where she crossed the finish line earlier this morning.

We spoke to her exactly a year ago when she was just starting the 5,000 mile trek.

The mother of two is already thinking about her next expedition.

She added: "I'm not good at relaxing, I need another project but I will definitely need some time to process what has happened.

"I want to read through my blogs and look through the photographs I've taken."
