Late Summer ~ Early Autumn
Noticing the change of seasons is one of the most profound delights in life ~ An easy rising sense of gratitude and joy. As Autumn approaches the fresh air feels different, smells enticing and carries the leaves, just a few at first falling like light snow. Fresh amber colours appear, brushstrokes of things to come. And of course there are fruits and berries to collect for nourishing, seasonal treats and well needed immunity lifts (Elderberry! ) This is just the Start of that seasonal gift to reward after a patient summer 🍂

True Grit ~ Safer Winter Walks
Enjoying winter walks is something everyone can benefit from. So what happens when you discover a path has become very slippery due to frost, ice or snow? You can help make it safer if you are practical about it ~ Collecting salt/grit from a designated yellow or green bin; using something to scoop a good amount into a carrier bag. Keep your hands covered if possible. Then get sprinkling! ❄️
Savouring the Beauty on Daily Short Walks
‘We can maximize the benefits of the good things around us by consciously savouring them rather than taking them for granted. As you walk, try to notice as many positive things around you as you can. These can be sights, sounds, smells, or other sensations. Pause for a moment as you hear or see each thing and make sure it registers with your conscious awareness, really take it in.’

Winter Wellbeing
Our bodies and minds are naturally affected by the change in weather and low light, yet many of us overlook the significance of seasonal impacts on our lives. We all have a holistic range of needs. For mind and body to work in harmony, especially during challenging winter months, we can harness the very real opportunities all around us. Identifying what helps us feel well.
Nature Connection 📗
‘Whatever our relationship with nature is, we can get closer - notice more, listen more, feel more, enjoy more, and care more. Research shows that the closer we get to nature, the happier we are, the more worthwhile life seems, and the more we are willing to take action to help our wildlife and the environment.’ 🔗The Nature Connection Handbook ~ Produced with the charity Natural England and the University of Derby.
