LIVE: enjoy local nature

just come back from a bracing beautiful walk on Sandsend beach – sunny, chilly, dogs, kids, glistening stones and best of all, hot choc and cake at the beachside cafe!!!

Went for a fab drive on Sat through gorgeous autumn trees and stopped off for a picnic and a walk – great to go crunching through the leaves, see small details in the forest (frosty field, berries, rabbit holes etc). Also took photos – my goal of taking photos of nature this year :)

This is so linked to my other goals – spend time with nature, do interesting things in lunchbreaks, keep photo journal of walks out – that having this separate doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe I need to rethink it – see it as more of a walk and less of a wander round (eg get book of local walks? Set a target? Link to local landmarks eg viaduct, abbey). Will try this then review in a month or so …

This is linked to spending time with nature – have been for walks on the beach, to the pier so may combine both. Will monitor for a bit longer then decide…
