Week 10 already! Where on earth is the time going?! Though it’s been a bit on the dull side weather-wise this week, having some consistent, dry days has been appreciated. It makes walking in the mornings and evenings so much more enjoyable and it meant I didn’t have to relearn any lessons about staying dryContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 10”

356 Days Wild: Week 9
Well, I feel like I’ve learnt quite a few things this week: 1) Grief can sometimes play tricks on you.2) If your phone tells you there’s an 80% chance of heavy rain and you go out for a walk because you think you know better, be prepared to get wet.3) I think I’m now startingContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 9”
356 Days Wild: Week 8
Week 8 was very up and down but I’m glad I was able to squeeze in some wildlife to brighten up the days. Thank you for reading x Monday 1st March 2021 I’m reading a new book at the moment called Incredible Journeys: Exploring the Wonders of Animal Navigation by David Barrie. It gives aContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 8”
356 Days Wild: Week 7
I can’t quite believe we’re at the end of February now, but the milder weather and lighter mornings/evenings have really brought some positivity to what’s been a bit of a challenging week. And, as a bonus, my wild adventure brought me daffodils, catkins, jogs in the rain and lambs and calves. A lovely way toContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 7”
356 Days Wild: Week 6
I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely noticed some more signs of spring on my daily walks this week: daffodils are starting to open, trees are coming into bud, the sun is warming up and little lambs are starting to frolic in the fields! Read on to hear more about what I’ve been upContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 6”
356 Days Wild: Week 5
February has definitely been a bit of a weird one so far. It seems like something really odd is happening every week. Last week, it was all about the tom cats who suddenly appeared on our street – meowing all night and all day – because they were interested in a cat next door. NotContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 5”
356 Days Wild: Week 4
This week brought a new fitness challenge – one focused on distance. I’ve entered the competition as part of a team at work and we get points for every kilometre we walk or cycle. That, and my 6 in 6 challenge, has definitely helped with some ‘acts of wildness’ this week as it’s forced meContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 4”
356 Days Wild: Week 3
I forgot to say at the end of my last post that I managed to complete the first week of my 6 in 6 challenge! Having to walk almost 6,000 steps indoors on the Wednesday of that week was really quite an experience. I made myself pretty dizzy and also seriously irritated one of myContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 3”

356 Days Wild: Week 1
I’ve set myself a new challenge for 2021. A ‘wild’ one. As those of you who have read quite a few of my posts may know, I’m a big fan of wildlife and the benefits it can have on wellbeing. A couple of The Wildlife Trusts’ challenges really brought this home to me over theContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 1”
