Skelton Lake, Leeds

Exploring outdoor and green spaces in Leeds, England, during the pandemic has been a real pleasure. This latest hidden gem is called Skelton Park.

The Little Things = Self Care

It’s the little things like fresh air and love that equal self-care. Don’t forget to recharge yourself with both.

If there’s one thing that’s come from this whole Coronavirus (Covid-19) “End Of The World” situation, it’s that I am suddenly inspired to blog again. Who knew that all it would take for these creative juices to get flowing was a pandemic!

Real-Time Adventures

When I imagined a seaside getaway in the UK, I did not expect this! A staithe is an old English word for "landing place" which seems perfect cause we landed there on a whim. It's part of the Dinosaur/Jurassic Coast, and you can really feel the enormity of that at low tide when you get to see more of the seabed. Apparently, Staithes is known as the Amalfi Coast of England (?), and is also the place that allegedly inspired Captain Cook into explorer mode. So, yeah, I fell in love 🥰

Beach ASMR!

Just your standard bae appreciation post (another one??!!!) to @adammolzahn who recognised my near emergency level of pining for a good old fashioned wander. He whisked me away on an off-the-grid, covid-safe, "let's wing it" holiday through some pretty spectacular sights. All the while, he was singing at the top of his voice, going on about why castle ruins are so mind-blowing, and waxing ad-nauseum about the English sea-side fish and chips experience! What a dork! 🥰😍🥰😍

Just an @adammolzahn appreciation post for being such an Adam, for ruining all my "serious insta-worthy videos", for being my personal soundtrack/jingle provider for all of life's moments; and for being a champ about me finding everyone and everything annoying! I'll give you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating, a squish, and an actual social media post of it! 🥳

A cold, sunshiny day - only in England! Scenes from our long walk yesterday!

How my niblings make me feel, even in 6 degree "spring" weather!

We've been trying to reduce our single-use plastic consumption for several years now, but over the last year it's been a real concerted effort. We buy veg from the local farmers so there's no plastic packaging involved, and we added several new water bottles into our growing family of reusables. And although the pandemic has slowed things, we're just happy that we are able to do the little things we can, wherever we can. And so when @mochachocolatarita asked me to be part of her #BottleSelfieChallenge, I *had* to post something. I'm not usually one for challenges, but I am behind this one 100%. We've long since ditched single plastics, and carrying a stylish bottle and a tote is on our list of essentials along with housekeys and wallets.

This is a tribute to the month of March, and the weird crazy role it has played in my life over the last decade.

Mirror mirror on the wall!
