Yes it definitely has been a while. I feel like I've not really done much to write about but kind of feeling the urge to do it anyways so below is a little update on what's been going on since my last post. I've been to the season opening up meeting for the National Trust … Continue reading It’s Been a While…
Thanks to my wonderful husband (he'll expect me to write that), I was able to go on another volunteering day with the National Trust while he took the day off to look after the pooch. I was excited to get back out and about, spending a whole day doing something in the outdoors. For this … Continue reading Volunteering Day 2
Hello. It's been a while and the title above suggests why - yep, I caved and we got a dog. Connor came into our lives a little over two weeks ago. Named after our daughter's Uncle (her suggestion that got picked out of the hat), he's a Miniature Schnauzer and about 3 months old. He's … Continue reading And the dog makes 4
Hi - it's been a while, so much has been going on. Volunteering, holidays and puppy but more to follow on the latter two over the next couple of days. Before we went away, I did my first volunteering day with the National Trust. Part of my time I want to spend feeling purposeful for … Continue reading Volunteering – the start of beautiful friendship
It was my two month anniversary of being made redundant this week. It's been on my mind a lot over the past few days. Not sure if it's because I am yet to go out for a walk (combination of crappy weather and having a cold) or any other influence. Most people who know me … Continue reading Redundancy and Mindfulness
I was going to walk much earlier on in the week because the weather has been amazing! But two walks of a different nature pushed my plans back. Both with the school on nature walks. One in the rain, one in the snow. Both were enjoyable but it was time for me to strike out … Continue reading Binsey
The weather has been lovely up here in the Lakes, as it has been in other parts of the country. I decided that it was a perfect day for a walk up Lord's Seat and Barf. I've never been up Lord's Seat but we have been up Barf from Thornthwaite as a family - the … Continue reading Lord’s Seat and Barf
I thought a good idea was to look back at the week and reflect on what I'd done and if I had achieved what I set out too. Did I walk somewhere I hadn't been before? Have I been mindful? Did my day have purpose? I was going to write this last night but I … Continue reading The Week that Was…
Yesterday's forecast was bang on - a clean, clear crisp day, plenty of sunshine and a great day for a walk. And it really was. I had planned to go up Skiddaw - I've lived in Cumbria pretty much all my life and have never climbed up it. Plus everyone says it's relatively easy, there's … Continue reading Walla Crag…and Using a Compass
