Life is a journey, treasure it…..
Bluebells are a famous feature of many of our woodlands and they are truly beautiful. As we move further into April they will carpet woodland areas. This annual display is just stunning.
Did you know native bluebells have a strong sweet scent? Much weaker scents come from the non native varieties. Native bluebells are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Next time you walk into the woods spend a little time looking at the magic they create.
Ancient woods are areas of woodland that have persisted since 1600 in England and Wales, and 1750 in Scotland.
They are relatively undisturbed by human development. As a result, they are unique and complex communities of plants, fungi, insects and other microorganisms.
How do I know if I’m exploring an ancient woodland? Look out for indicator species these include the commonly know bluebells, primroses and wood anemones or the less commonly known scaly male fern or hazel gloves fungus.

There is nothing better than walking into the sunset 🧡 Today has been a day of sitting and working at my laptop. So this evening the need to get outside not only for my physical health but my mental health was an absolute must. And the bonus of the husband, one son + fish and chips made it perfect.
Remember not to rush, slow down and take in your surroundings.
Nothing better than a moonlight walk the youngest ❤️
It’s always worth looking at something from another perspective.
It’s been a busy work day but coming back to walk along this beautiful beach makes it worth it.
I have clocked up 550 miles in the last 24 hours and 300 more on the way tomorrow, but it has been worth it. Over the next year I will be making a few of these trips for a specific project all working to improve the health and social care sector in relation to medicines. Working to make positive effective change, going to be a challenging but rewarding project.
And this walk is everything after a long day 🧡
Wandering the quaint streets in Rye and found some excellent antique shops to explore.
Just my son and I with no plan just a desire to explore.
Rye is a beautiful cinque port in East Sussex with cobbled streets and lots of bespoke shops, cafes and restaurants.
If your looking for something British to do when traveling from overseas then this is a great place to visit.
So today we decided that we would stay fairly local when exploring. After getting in the car and picking a direction we ended up in Whitstable.
We were on a mission to get some food having skipped breakfast and we reached The Lobster Shack. With a fabulous menu it was a hard choice they even had a BBQ outside with freshly barbecued fish if you wished. As it was a beautiful day we opted to sit outside; both inside and outside were busy but there were still lots tables available with people coming and going frequently. The service was extremely fast and there was a good system for ordering food and drinks.
Already planning another visit with my brother and sister in law when they are next visiting Kent.
To let our food go down we walked along the Tankerton Slopes and back, this is an easy gentle walk on the flat so accessible for everyone. Sometimes the unplanned things are the best.
I think it might be time for another road trip adventure😁
