It happened yesterday. Finally I reached a point where I thought and felt strong enough to strike out from the little shoreline to the boat, deep in the water, off the stretch of estuary I swim. Breaking my ankle back in November meant that I'd made a conscious decision to take care of my overall … Continue reading Using Wild Swimming To Build Confidence, Fulfil Goals & Create Wellbeing

The Kingfisher & The Doldrums
I'm always on the lookout for signs - are you? Ones that tell me I am moving in the right direction or that I am moving away from my goals. I break these down into short term, mid-term and long term goals and the milestones I hit in-between. The end of 2019 was a … Continue reading The Kingfisher & The Doldrums
Healthy Ageing – Flourishing Over 50
Time for self reflection has been evidential during Lockdown, where we have been confined to our homes, counties and countries and today - as my mind decided it would like to escape the cloudy skies hovering above my house in Essex.

Oh The Places You Shall Go!
Are you like me and long for the moment you can travel again? As I sit here thinking about what I want and need from a destination when we are finally able to travel out of the UK, my mind turns immediately to Thailand - the love I have for the country (now).

Initially, I simply … Continue reading Side Swiped By Covid -19 Pneumonia and Surviving

Go Wild & Barefoot to Stay Grounded & Increase Wellbeing
As the rain came down that day, I decided the best way to walk from town to home was bare footed and through the puddles. Now this may not be everybody's choice and I know there were people who looked at me as if I were a little bit crazy. (And maybe that's a good … Continue reading Go Wild & Barefoot to Stay Grounded & Increase Wellbeing
Fulfilling Our Relationship Goals in the Lake District
It's been a tough 3 months on our relationship... Getting up at 5am, catching the train into London, working a full day in a Rehab with a focus on addiction but one which also deals with stress, burnout & recovery.

It is one of the easiest and most fulfilling ways to create a connection inside us, with something greater than what we are.
