I was feeling low yesterday and had to force myself to go for a walk.
Walking through woodland, and/or walking beside water, will raise your serotonin levels and make you feel better. It really does work.

Love looking into the hearts of flowers. Even the smallest ones are magnificent. #FindingJoy is small things.

Iโve been enjoying all the videos of Scottish ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ fans singing. Such pride and enthusiasm. I hope they do well in the tournament.
In all fairness, though, I have to say the Welsh๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ are the better singers ๐

Poppies are amazing. So fragile and temporary.

Pebbles from the coast in Scotland, and one piece of sea glass. Who else canโt help filling their pockets on a beach walk?

Empty sea and empty beaches.
Everyone should visit Scotland, but Iโm pleased they donโt.

Very sad to learn of David Hockneyโs death. He was a brilliant artist. I went to an exhibition of his iPad paintings, and my mind was blown.

The Spey bridge is closed on the Moray Coast Trail, so a forced deviation down the Spey to the nearest bridge and back again.

Flowers growing by the roadside on one of my walking trips. All common species. Can you recognise them?

Yesterday was a mixed bag of sunshine and showers. Who enjoys walking in the rain?

I find it extraordinary that supposedly educated people think the EHRC makes the law. The Supreme Court has *clarified* the law. The EHRC has *explained* the law.
It has never been legal for men to access womenโs spaces.
We need more intelligent MPs. We deserve better.
