As humans we often find ourselves subjected to an array of emotions, conditions and directions. Nature however, takes its time to adapt to change but eventually catches up to be stronger and more resilient. We... Continue Reading →
Woke up this morning and embraced by spring bird calls, I stepped out for an earnest run around our small woodland and lake. I had been hesitant to go out for a run due to a persistent knee problem, which started about three years ago. I have never liked running, but managed to find a... Continue Reading →

Last Thursday a few of us and some volunteers headed over to our neighbouring estate to plant some fruit trees. The drive over revealed how cold it had been in the night Seeing a decent white dusting over the moors was certainly refreshing as we have been quite disillusioned by the constant rain and dark...

I looked at my hands this week and I didn't expect anything less. A few days spent in the relentless winter rain and cold - albeit in the woods - made me realise what I'd got myself into during the hardest of seasons.
