An auspicious day filled with inspiration & love
Me and Nixie really lucked out today, Kevin had to work from home due to a train strike which meant he could give us a ride wherever we wanted to go on his lunch break. No waiting on trains. No long treks. Not needing to carry Nixie in the backpack. Such a novelty!!…
The soothing sea & the grounding forest
Today our senses got a special treat, we got to feel the soothing energies of the sea in the morning and the grounding energies of the forest in the afternoon…
From the blues to bliss
I feel such bliss right now and feel completely enveloped in the most beautiful love. It's 19:00 and Nixie has just fallen asleep and I'm right beside her enjoying listening to her sweet little breath, and I can't help but think how since having a child how the littlest of things can bring me such comfort and bliss. My day didn't start so good though, I was feeling incredibly tired and drained, I had wanted to go on a hike but just didn't have the energy to carry Nixie and deal with everything that a hike would entail…
The Dead Trees
What a day! I don’t think I've felt this worn out since the day me and Kevin walked 8 miles when I was 10 days overdue trying to get Nixie to come out! I had wanted to go on a long hike but it ended up feeling more like an expedition…
A new day, another adventure
What I love about living here is that you can go and explore somewhere new every single day. "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks"-John Muir…
Holland's Wood Wandering
What an incredible day me and Nixie have had. I woke up feeling pretty rough, I had barely gotten any sleep, Nixie kept me up most of the night, wanting to nurse all of the time. She hasn’t been very well these past few days dealing with a cold that’s been wearing her out. Right after I woke up this morning I felt the strongest pull to go to the woods, i thought being outside would be good for both of us. Whenever i feel a bit low, I know that the best place for me is the woods. It always restores me in some way and gives me exactly what i need…
A little wander in Roydon Woods
This morning we woke up around 6:00 and since the moment I opened my eyes I was itching to go on a little hike in the woods. So after breakfast I got us ready and made sure I packed some snacks & several extra pairs of clothes for Nixie since she has this inner compass that seems to always guide her directly to some source of water when we are out, it is quite impressive! I put her in the backpack and off we went to catch the train to Brockenhurst…
Our New Life in the New Forest
These past couple of months have brought with them so many life changes. We relocated from the busy city of London where our everyday environment consisted of lots of cars, busses, fumes, buildings, pavements, ambulance sirens, noise and people rushing around in too much of a hurry to even say hello, to country life in the New Forest where our everyday consists of horses, cows, donkeys, forests, heathlands, fields, seaside, woodland streams and birdsong…
