Paddleboarding with kids can be a lovely way to spend some quality time as a family. It can also be hideous (and I speak from experience!) if you forget the snacks! As a water sport, stand-up paddleboarding is quite safe. But where water is involved, it’s never going to be completely risk free so here... Continue Reading →
I love paddleboarding for lots of reasons not least because it’s one of the most accessible watersports for newbies. You don’t have to worry about co-ordinating water-skis or catching a wave at the exact moment you need to. Lots of people don’t even get wet the first time they try! It’s an easy sport to...

We all know self-care is important, but sometimes (often) life gets in the way and we’re just too busy. Sound familiar?

I mean safety, away from 2020 and COVID-19 – I’m completely ready to move on from that and get back to seeing my friends and family – but also a much... Continue Reading →
I was thinking and writing about connection at the weekend. What does it mean? How do we build it? Is it something you can develop or it something that is there inherently? I considered my connection with some people, where it just clicks and you feel like you’ve known them forever, and also my connection... Continue Reading →
The day I'd been waiting for finally arrived, like Christmas Eve when you're five - my date at the hairdresser!
Having a morning routine helps make the most of every day. Here's an insight into mine.
My goodness, it’s hot! It was the hottest July day in the UK on Thursday, and I had a run scheduled for the evening, though with temperatures still in the high twenties, I changed my mind. I debated with myself as I’m training for a half marathon – which is worse, skipping the run, or... Continue Reading →
