Hips, trips, training and getting kids outside!
I love a trig pillar! They’ve been a beacon of “you’ve nearly made it” on so many of my walks, that I now greet them affectionately when I see one. Much to the embarrassment of my kids of course! I draw the line at climbing them. Let’s be honest, I probably couldn’t get up there…
Hello, you may have thought this outdoor blogger was missing in action, not noticed I hadn’t posted for a while, or knew I had my head down studying for my physiotherapy degree! I’m still here, still walking and getting outside, but studying hard too. It seems doing a degree, keeping a household running and sharing…
Getting outside with the family was top of the list for a recent weekend outing. The circular walk from Low Bradfield to High Bradfield sounded to be just what we needed.

I’m sure they’ll be a blog post about our adventures there, it wasn’t all sitting by the pool and we had an exhilarating adventure involving speedboats! 2018 had amazing adventures,…
It’s nearly the end of January, the evenings are getting lighter and Spring it just around the corner, all things to be positive about, right?
