Happy New Year! What will make us all #happy in the year ahead? Apart from the obvious! I am making up a list of things that do just this. Here's a pic of a place I go with my beloved boy Bentley that makes me feel happy in an instant. Have a fabulous 2026.

Hello gorgeous people Sorry been under the weather lately, so just pacing myself. Yesterday I opted for the train and was struck by the carriage notice. Take time to breathe and take time for yourself, just yourself and not become broken. Have a lovely break. Merry Christmas!
Sit for a minute. When did you last think about your own selfcare? Too busy ticking off lists, forget to breathe, reflect on how far we've come. Come to the waters edge, capture the #serenity. What if we changed life a little? Picture it.

Today is an #equinox day - the second of the year where the day time and night time are nearly equal. What are you doing to make this stand out? Its the start of an exciting week ahead. What is on your agenda?
Hi, headed out for my 1st ever morning swim, dreaming of gorgeous sunrises & calm waters. Reality was somewhat different! Although cold, it's a great buzz after. Interested? Check out: https://t.co/NFwIxmo8Fe

I've started wild swimming, joyous! An acrostic poem -
Water
Intoxicating
Levelling
Destroying
Stress
With its power to cocoon
Injects endorphins into
Muted bodies laden down with overwork
Massages worry away
In its comforting embrace
Never fails to
Give
