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”
356 Days Wild: Week 37
What a lovely ‘summer part 2’ we’ve been having! So many crisp, sunny days despite the days getting shorter. Towards the end of Week 37 of my wildlife challenge, I had the opportunity to experience a few ‘acts of wildness’ with my sister. Definitely the main highlight! And there were other highlights too, including:☀️ AContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 37”
356 Days Wild: Week 36
I worked out last week that I’ve now done over 245 days-worth of ‘random acts of wildness’. Looking back, I’m really glad I documented them all and I can see that it’s done me a world of good over the past 36 weeks. I hope I can keep it up despite the faster pace ofContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 36”
356 Days Wild: Week 25
And so comes the end of another ’30 Days Wild’. Crazy to think my first introduction to ‘daily acts of wildness’ was officially over a whole year ago! I’m also just about halfway through my wild challenge for 2021. For anyone who missed the very first post about my wild undertakings, I managed to decideContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 25”
356 Days Wild: Week 24
And so ends the last full week of this year’s ’30 Days Wild’! It’s been so nice to take part in this challenge again and, I have to say, it’s also very reassuring to know that my wild challenge won’t come to an end on July 1st! I’m gonna keep on goin’! Let’s get straightContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 24”
356 Days Wild: Week 23
I’m a little late with this round-up but last week was just as wild as ever! The sunshine was lovely while it lasted and, despite the rain, I enjoyed a mini-urban-wild-adventure in the ‘Big Smoke’ towards the end of the week. A few highlights from Week 23:🐦 Reading up on rare UK birds🌸 Enjoying someContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 23”
356 Days Wild: Week 22
Well, it’s been a scorcher here in the UK for the past week. Makes a change! 😎 It was also the second week of ’30 Days Wild’. I took part in this challenge for the very first time last year and it inspired my own ‘wild year’ this year. Some of my highlights are differentContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 22”
356 Days Wild: Week 21
A bit of a tricky one this week, as all I’ve wanted to do is go outside for long walks in the sunshine which just isn’t possible at the moment! That said, it was the start of ’30 Days Wild’ this week and I have quite a few wild highlights, which I’m very grateful for,Continue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 21”
356 Days Wild: Week 20
Week 20 woooooooooooooooop!!!! A whole 140 days of wildness already!!! That’s all I can congratulate myself on this week. Without sounding too sorry for myself, I made a bit of a silly mistake that has tested me. After walking for miles and miles during weeks 18 and 19, I found myself restricted to the houseContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 20”
