The brook by my house meandering through the reeds and fresh green shoots, while a chorus of birdsong rejoices in the warmth of early spring. A beautiful early morning dog walk. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐

In these chaotic times, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed. It is vital to pause, return to our breathing and be in the present moment. It is all we truly have. We can turn to mindful breathing anytime we need it, a constant inner balm that can soothe us. ๐

It is great snorkelling in the bay, the water is so clear.
Some Cornish calm to ease your timeline. A cliff top walk in Carbis Bay. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. ๐

Thank you. I was lucky in many ways. Alas, a lot of trauma, too. Yet, the peace of being alone by the woodlands and the water were my tonic. ๐
As a boy, I would often walk the woodlands beside the creek and come down to this shingle shore. Back then, there used to be a blue rope with a knot for swinging out over the water. Today, there is a decent upgrade to a wooden seat! Yet, the peace and tranquility is the same. ๐

I beg to differ. A tributary stream that leads to a tidal inlet is classed as a creek. There are plenty of creeks in England.
Down at the creek where I grew up. Whenever I am back in Cornwall, this is my place of peace. May you find calm in your day, my friends. ๐

This might be the shortest Tudor reign since Lady Jane Grey.
Some Cornish medicine to soothe your timeline. Sunset over Sennen Cove. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐

Well spotted. Yes, itโs outside the Hall for Cornwall on Lemon Quay. My home city. ๐
Today is the 90th anniversary of the first flight of the iconic Spitfire from nearby Eastleigh aerodrome. To celebrate, here is a video I took at RAF Duxford a few years back of one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight spitfires on a test flight.

Happy St Piranโs Day to my fellow Cornish friends. St Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall and is celebrated on March 5. Here is a clip of our Cornish Anthem, โTrelawneyโ to celebrate.
As we say in Cornish:
Gool Peran Lowen.

Thatโs right, it does!
The amazing multi-layered cliffs at Hunstanton in Norfolk. Iโd heard about them before, but seeing them in person was mesmerising. Some of the colouration was formed when this land was on the equator millions of years ago before the tectonic plates moved us north. ๐

The serenity and timeless beauty of rural Japan. Walking the hills on the outskirts of Kyoto. Balm for the soul. ๐ ๐ฏ๐ต

Throwback to summer and a lunchtime walk through the woodlands. If you need a break from the chaos, come join Monty and me. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐๐ณ๐โ๐ฆบ

It felt like the season has turned today. A beautiful and warm early spring dog walk, filled with birdsong and buds bursting into bloom. The brook is high with the water from the the top of valley, and it all felt rather wonderful. ๐ผ

If we move one grain of sand, it changes the entire beach. Small actions matter. We should be kind to all things - we may may not realise the impact on others but our actions ripple outwards. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐
