I live in a beautiful location

A beautiful location for lock-down.

I lead a busy life

Before Corona Virus these are the things I would tell people I do;

  • Run on the paths around Matlock
  • Compete and Volunteer as an Orienteer
  • Serve as a School Governor for our local primary school
  • Walk in mountains when I can
  • Collect my grandchildren from school most weeks
  • Practice Mindfulness more or less often
  • Go to Wild Wendy’s lovely Yoga
  • Attend Pilates with Sheila
  • Enjoy Ballet with Lara
  • Spend as much time as I can outdoors in the Garden
  • Play Wind Recorders with a select group
  • Identify wildflowers

Why this blog?

Having decided that it is right for me and my husband to be Socially Isolating for what may be an indefinite period of time I want to find a way to feel that I am still communicating with the wider world outside.

I do many things which keep me happy and healthy but they are mostly in social groups. I hope that writing this blog, sharing thoughts and experiences will motivate me to keep active. I imagine that I will write about;

  • Mindfulness – have I done any practice?
  • Exercise – what do I manage to keep doing?
  • Gardening
  • Social Distancing – the challenges and how we overcome them
