Figuring out the next stage of life - I've been teaching in the woods for more than 15 years, before that techie stuff and consulting. Love life outdoors, campfire conversations, bread baking and whittling spoons...

Nature connection - it felt good to be in this woody glade, with beautiful snow drops, the rooks high above exploring the rookery, and squorking away to each other, oblivious to my chopping wood below in the baker tent. A few hours well spent in a woodland flow 💚💙💜

Dancing Flames - it sure is nice in the woods, those flames flickering around the kettle, whisps of smoke swirling around, the sunlight shining through between branches, slowing down to feel the calmness in the woods, the refreshing breeze, taking it all in, life is good in the woods.

Make Life Memorable - it's lovely to be back in the woods, it's good for the mind and soul; warmth of the fire, a brew, leaves dancing in the sunshine, the sounds of birds seeking out a meal, and the fresh breeze blows the worries away. Yes it's good to be in the woods. Wishing you well 💚

Good morning from the woods - it's a beautiful day, a little chilly, but with wonderful blue skies, the sounds of birds singing, and the snap, crackle and pop of the campfire, I think it's going to be a good day - wishing you well 💚
