How would I summarise January… I’d say it really is the hardest month of the year. Well, for me anyway. And that’s mainly due to the light I think. So little time to squeeze walks in before/after work. Especially when you’re busy. A year ago, it was a little different – going out for aContinue reading “Dry January”

A little ramble
I have a couple of confessions to make. Firstly, I’m still here! Secondly, I’d say I probably got to the end of the 2nd January 2022 when I realised that I’d miss writing my weekly posts. I can confirm that I’m still keeping up my daily acts of wildness – and I may well shareContinue reading “A little ramble”
2021: My Wild Year!
So my wild year has somehow come to a close. Done. Dusted. Finito. I can’t quite believe I made it! I’ve already shared one of the reasons why I endeavoured on my wild journey – I’d experienced the positive benefits of wildlife through 30 Days Wild and 12 Days Wild and wanted to set myselfContinue reading “2021: My Wild Year!”
356 Days Wild: Week 50 & 51
And so marks the end of my 356 days of wildness. Almost a full year – and it would’ve been, too, if I hadn’t thought up the idea a few days late! This post covers the last week and a half of my wild challenge, starting before Christmas and ending on New Years’ Eve. TheContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 50 & 51”
356 Days Wild: Week 49
Well, I made up for my walking lull this week! Week 49 of my wild challenge involved a little trip up north to see family before Christmas. And I made sure to take my walking boots.

356 Days Wild: Week 47
I’m feeling a bit sad that I’m onto the last few weeks of my wild challenge. I don’t plan to stop my ‘daily acts of wildness’ when we hit 2022, but it does feel like another journey is coming to a close. So it’s definitely important for me to make the most of December andContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 47”
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. Winter makes for some lovely walks though – when there isn’t a storm – so I think I’m ready to embrace the colder weather (as long as itContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 46”
356 Days Wild: Week 45
What a busy week! And we’re totally storming towards Christmas which is a bit scary! In between the buzzing around, I enjoyed some more wild moments. Quite a few of my wild challenge contributions were small things that I slotted into each day. Having these brief moments of wildness definitely gave me some much-appreciated headspace!Continue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 45”

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!)”
