Don’t listen to social media!
Don’t listen to social media! Listen to your body It makes me frustrated and sad when social media influencers & celebs give advice on exercise or when social media cooks give advice on nutrition, just because I go to the dentist doesn’t mean I can give dental...

New wildlife pond at our retreat
At the bottom of our field, away from the house and garden, we had an overgrown pond that was full of silt. Last autumn we cleared the area and have taken 10 or more feet of silt out of the pond (with the help of a couple of large diggers!) so it is back to it's...

“Top escapes to relax you”
Metro
I LOVED the treehouse, your personal training sessions and the hammock… and the swimming pond… and the sauna… and the food… and the croquet (who knew!)…. and the walks.
