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”
A Sprinkle of Art
Hello! As mentioned in my last ‘wild challenge’ weekly blog post, I’ve decided to put some art prints up for sale! I was a little scared to do this, but I’ve been so grateful for the feedback and purchases I’ve received so far. It’s genuinely meant a lot so thank you. As promised, I’ve sharedContinue reading “A Sprinkle of Art”
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: Weeks 43 & 44 (including a trip to Wales!)
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”
356 Days Wild: Week 41
Week 41 felt much more autumnal to me and I am loving the colours! Not as much walking this week, but I’ll be getting my walking boots out for the ‘Big Wild Walk’ during Week 42! Fancy taking part too? Back to Week 41 for a sec – let’s take a look at a fewContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 41”
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”
Autumn Vibes
I’m writing this with the absolute knowledge that all of the leaves have already fallen off the cherry tree in the garden. Some might say that I’ve almost missed autumn, but I absolutely love autumnal colours and have been meaning to paint them – and write about them – for the best part of 2Continue reading “Autumn Vibes”
‘How seasonal’
A slightly shorter one this time. I’ve found myself getting into a bit more of a rhythm in working on various art pieces. Some I like better than others. The ones in this blog weren’t my favourites but it was the ‘doing’ rather than the result that counted. I’m going to start by explaining theContinue reading “‘How seasonal’”
