We are now well on our way towards February! I have had a wee break from pretty well everything or so it seems. I actually have been massaging and teaching yoga as normal and somewhere along the way I kind of lost track of time. The thing is that the week between Christmas and New … Continued
Last Sunday morning I was looking forward to a gentle day of doing very little. Saturday had been a busy yoga workshop day, which I had spent some time putting together. The afternoon went splendidly. Sunday was bright, blue and chilly, in other words a near perfect winter’s day. At breakfast I was asked by … Continued
Spring arrived here in the UK and with it an idea began to form in my husband’s brain. He has for several years wanted to do more walking in the Peak District and now that he is retired and ‘has the book’ he decided to sit down and plan our route. The inspiration came from … Continued
Monday is my day off. No massage and no yoga classes to teach. Once upon a time I massaged every week day and then I began to get older….and wiser! I now have a good balance of work and taking time to rest and enjoy breathing into space that I, with support and help from … Continued

Yesterday morning was spent doing various bits and bobs and as I completed each task…all of them indoor based, I was aware of the sun beckoning me outside. Lunch done and off I went. I went on a very familiar walk through Happy Valley to Bramall Hall. It’s a route I’ve walked many time with … Continued
All my life, apart from a brief two year period there has been a dog or dogs in my life. Our home without a dog is somehow lacking energy….there is a gap. Occasionally, there have been dog-free days just before and after overseas trips when neighbours or family have kindly invited my dogs into their … Continued
I woke to the most beautiful morning. Bright sunlight and a beautiful blue sky. My week has been busy and so our walk this morning was very local and gentle. Bisi, my walking companion for almost 16 years! We live 5minutes stroll from the A6 which is one of the busiest roads round Manchester. … Continued
