No random titles this month. Just a simple ‘November’. Because, this month, I tried to make things simple again. I took a short break to try and reset. I have felt some tricky feelings brewing throughout 2022 and I knew I was starting to find things overwhelming and difficult. I’m sure I’m not the onlyContinue reading “November.”

Odd-tober
There’s no two ways about it. October was odd. Now, what am I referring to exactly. I could be talking about the weather – it was such a warm month – or I could be talking about UK politics. September certainly feels like a long time ago in respect of the latter. Just for theContinue reading “Odd-tober”
‘Say whaaaaat?!’ September
Well, there were some big changes in September. And who would’ve thought we could cope with them after everything else we’ve been through. New government, new monarch and then an absolute political explosion to finish it off. By the way, if you haven’t been following some of the potential environmental impacts of the UK government’sContinue reading “‘Say whaaaaat?!’ September”
356 Days Wild: Week 46
And what did Week 46 of my wild challenge bring? Well, winter. Wasn’t it a cold one?! Frost and then snow and then ice and then frost.

And breathe! This one is a bit of a read. So I won’t be offended if you dip in and swiftly dip out! Two-weeks worth of a wild challenge can definitely add up! I’ll keep it brief to start. A trip to the Welsh coast was definitely the huge highlight of the fortnight, but IContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Weeks 43 & 44 (including a trip to Wales!)”
356 Days Wild: Week 42
I had a lot of fun squeezing some walks for the Big Wild Walk into Week 42 of my wild challenge! Another very busy week and another month gone – goodbye! Walks always bring a range of wild encounters and, this week, I got to explore two new places: Walsall and Liverpool! There were lotsContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 42”
October artwork: a brief round-up
Oh my goodness. I haven’t posted about my art properly for such a long time. For anyone following my weekly ‘acts of wildness’, you’ll know I’ve been busy doing bits and pieces. But I’ve found myself creating pieces thinking ‘I need to write about this’ and then completely not writing about this! So October seemedContinue reading “October artwork: a brief round-up”
