The joy of the wild.
I’m incredibly lucky that my work sometimes takes me to places like this — deep into the jungle in Papua New Guinea, surrounded by extraordinary life, noise, heat, colour and green.
But I don’t think “the wild” has to mean travelling to the other side of the planet. It doesn’t always have to involve mountains, leeches, machetes or sleeping in a hammock.
A wild place can be much closer to home. A local park. A footpath you’ve never followed. A patch of woodland. A river, a hill, a beach, a field. Sometimes it can simply mean turning left where you normally turn right and seeing what’s there.
Either way…I think we all need a bit more Wild in our lives. Getting outside, moving, wandering, exploring — feeling the weather on your face and remembering there’s a huge living world beyond our screens and our daily routines. It can clear away some of the nonsense, make us feel wonderfully small, and do enormous good for our head health.
So this is my gentle encouragement: find your wild place. Get outside. Have a wander, a wobble, a little adventure. Less screen time, more green time.
Because we could all do with getting just a little bit more wild.!!

@BerenCross Hi Beren, can I just confirm how you know Liverpools confirmation of their slot? As the draw hasn't been made yet for the CL?
Curious as I'm going to the Leeds Vs Brentford match so I could really do with knowing 100%! Cheers!
