Lockdown in the UK will be tough in November. So we've planned out an extra video launching each week... On a Friday at 4pm. Each is a skill that you can easily use, remember and adapt to suit you. Proper crowd pleasures based around core concepts. Starts tomorrow!

I love my local market on a bright, warm, summer's day. But if we don't also support them through the cold & rain of autumn & winter then they simply won't be here in the summer! Remember when we all shopped local during the panic buying lockdown? Stick with it if you can!

Tonight I tasted the 1st (accidental) harvest from the allotment! Was digging a bed for carrots & parsnips, when I found spuds! Presumably sown by the last tenant. No idea what they are, or how long they've been in... But seriously tasty. Fresh out the ground no less than 4 hrs!

In April I was challenged to run 5km... was painful & took over 30 mins. Lockdown encouraged me to squash the time. 26 mins today & less like I want to die. Chuffed with even a few mins progress. Sharing positive achievements right now is good. What else do people want to share?
