Seven Round Walks…
Prescription: Nature… (a 2020 update original post May 2015) In this time of isolation from ‘the world’, it seems ‘nature’ has never been more potent. If you’re are lucky enough to be able to get out and about, I sincerely hope you are able to find space to enjoy some ‘nature’. Em & I have […]

The Call of a Calm sea in Summer
As you know, for 5 years now I have ridden a bike to and from work. This activity and perspective has seen many changes over time. It’s not for everyone I guess. It’s probably just me.

Still on my bike…
Today’s ride home was wind-assisted* with a rare west-sou-westerly coming up from the homeland pushing me home. Feeling the wind carry me along today was edifying – I was assisted onwards by natural forces… the same natural forces that are wreaking havoc elsewhere in the country. When outside forces are against us, we often feel […]
