As we head into a new week, please remember your own self worth. It is easy to lose sight of this amidst the egos and feel left behind. Your best on any given day is good enough. If you end each day knowing you were kind, then you made a difference. You matter. May your week be calm, my friends. 😊

Let the day end gentle. May the waves swish and suck upon the sand, and play the rhythm of the ebbing tide. The sun sat low in autumn’s sky, and my heart resting. Healing. ❤️‍🩹 #Cornwall #Porthcurno #life #calm #peace #sea #ocean #beach #coast #walk #photography

They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun And in the morning, We will remember Them. 🙏 #Remembrance #veteran #RemembranceSunday

If you need a little calm amidst the chaos, come walk through the woodlands with Monty and me and allow nature’s medicine to soothe. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊🐕‍🦺 #woodlands #walk #nature #trees #calm #peace #life #mindfulness #photography

1.30am. Can’t sleep. Went for a walk. Misty outside. Took this shot of my road. I love the middle of the night, it’s a much better world. 😊 #insomnia #walk #life #nighttime #calm #peace #photography

In the middle of nowhere, yet everywhere that I need to be. Walking Monty through the South Downs National Park at sundown. Alone with nature and my wingman. Utter bliss. Rest well my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊 #nature #walk #Hampshire #SouthDownsNationalPark #calm #peace #photography

Lunch time dog walk amidst the amber and gold flurry of falling leaves. The woody, damp earthiness of it all, and that natural smoke-scent of winter knocking on the door. 🍁 #autumn #winter #seasons #nature #trees #leaves #life #walk #calm #peace #photography

Well done Americans 🇺🇸 #NYCMayoralElections #Mamdani #elections #Virginia #NewJersey #California

Oh my gosh! All the darned Christmas adverts have landed on TV! It is November 4! It’s all very ‘Let’s be schmaltzy and make you feel cosy but please spend, spend, spend beyond your means because, hey Christmas starts now’. Might have to put the tree up this weekend. Good grief. 🙄🌲 #Christmas #tv

Beautiful Ely Cathedral. A place to sit and contemplate. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #cathedral #calm #peace #history #architecture #life #explore #photography

Meandering and gentle. The beautiful River Test winding through Romsey, while the low sun at day’s end glows golden on the trees. 😊 #Hampshire #river #autumn #trees #nature #calm #peace #life #walk #photography

I love the door at No.36 😊 #wreath #flowers #design #life #walk #explore #photography

A beautiful afternoon at @rbgkew.bsky.social on Saturday. Visited a wonderful Botanical Art exhibition in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery, yet, ultimately, it was the plants in the gardens that were the true works of art. A joyful way to spend the afternoon. 🌺 #nature #flowers #plants #life #peace

Early morning woodland dog walk. All shades of yellow, red, orange and brown - including Monty! 🐕‍🦺 🍁 #autumn #woodland #walk #dog #leaf #leaves #trees #cockapoo #calm #peace #life #photography

As we head into a new week, please know that your best is good enough. Know that you matter. Know that kindness is more valuable than excess wealth. Status is an imposter. Be You, and know what a miracle you are. May your week be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #nature #life #mindfulness #kindness #peace

A gentle stroll around Romsey this morning. This old market town with its ancient abbey is my nearest town, just a couple of miles away. Looking splendid in autumn’s colours, I always feel a sense of calm when I go there. May your day be peaceful, my friends. #nature #history #calm #peace #life

It’s been an absolute classic, and it is fitting that it comes down to Game 7. Hoping the Blue Jays can get the win tonight. Let’s go Toronto. Play ball! ⚾️ #WorldSeries #baseball #mlb #BlueJays #Canada #Toronto #TorontoBlueJays

A post-work walk along the canal and down to the weir on the River Wey. I love the contrast of the calm, lingering water of the canal as it leads to the weir gates. Then the arcing glass-like flow and hurried anger of the water as it froths through. 😊 #nature #canal #river #walk #life #photography

We are connected with all things. Kindness, above all else, binds us. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #nature #life #mindfulness #kindness #empathy #calm #peace

The joys of Borough Market. I adore this place: the smells from the cooking and the rythm of people bustling around. You will find every kind of food here. Utterly wonderful. 😊 #London #BoroughMarket #food #eat #walk #life #photography

If you need a break from the daily chaos, come walk with Monty and me amidst the Cathedral of the Pines. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #nature #woodland #walk #calm #peace #trees #life #mindfulness #photography

A little macro-photography to start your day. When we pause and look deeply at the world around us, we can find calm amidst the chaos. Life is beautiful. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #nature #flower #life #calm #peace #photography #macrophotography #life

Wow! What. A. Game! 18 innings! A little sad the Jays did not win but it was a wonderful spectacle of baseball. Let’s hope game 4 is also a classic. 😊⚾️ #WorldSeries #mlb #baseball #Dodgers #BlueJays

As we head towards the end of the day, please know that your best was good enough. Try not to compare yourself to the imposters of status or wealth. Those are empty vessels. Kindness and giving your best is all that matters. Rest well, my friends. 🙂 #nature #sunset #life #peace #calm #photography

Reflections and contemplation. The font in Salisbury Cathedral is an artwork and joyous sculpture, capturing the imagination and making one pause for thought. 😊 #cathedral #history #art #design #calm #peace #mindfulness #life #architecture #photography

A cosy autumn morning in Kew, west London. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #London #autumn #shoplocal #life #calm #peace #mindfulness #photography

Popped over to Salisbury Cathedral yesterday to see the original Magna Carta. Not only wonderful to see this historically significant document, but also so much more poignant given its influence on the American Constitution and the present day world of a POTUS acting above the law. ⚖️ #history #law

A little spot of calm and a place to contemplate. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🙂 #nature #walk #tree #sheep #countryside #life #calm #peace #photography

A tough morning with some news to process. Yet, a walk in the Hampshire countryside is always the best tonic. 🌳 #nature #countryside #walk #Hampshire #calm #peace #mindfulness #life #photography

The texture and colour of a sycamore leaf in its autumn blaze. So much life in one simple leaf. We can walk past without noticing, but when we learn to look mindfully at the world around us, we can find peace and joy amidst the chaos. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🍁 #nature #life #autumn

Monty and I are ready for The World Series! It is going to be a classic. Let’s go Blue Jays. Play ball! ⚾️ #WorldSeries #baseball #bluejays #Toronto #Canada #mlb #TorontoBlueJays

Some of nature’s medicine to ease the end of your day. Please know that your best today was good enough. Be kind to yourself. Rest well, my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊 #nature #sunset #ocean #sea #sky #calm #peace #life #mindfulness #photography

Sundown by the oat fields. Walking the country lanes at home, listening to nature settling for the day’s end. Amidst the chaos of our daily lives, nature always provides a soothing balm. Even a single flower in a crack in the road is wondrous and peaceful. May your day be calm, my friends. 😊 #life

A carpet of amber and gold and rich red-browns. Oh, the majesty of Autumn! Her earthiness pinning us to the spot, a reminder that we are all connected. We are all part of something beyond our individual thoughts. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🍁 #nature #autumn #seasons #leaves #tree #life

Woodland walks at sundown. If you need some calm to end your day, come take a walk with Monty and me. Rest well, my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊 #woodland #trees #walk #nature #dog #cockapoo #life #calm #peace #photography

What. A. Series! What. A. Win! Congratulations to the Blue Jays on battling back to earn their spot in the World Series. What a contest that is going to be. I cannot wait! Play ball! ⚾️ #baseball #WorldSeries #Toronto #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #sport #life

At the bottom of my brother’s garden is a canal where I often just sit and mingle with the wildlife. A place of calm and contemplation. 🦢 #nature #swan #canal #life #calm #peace #mindfulness #photography

Autumn traffic lights. 🍁 #autumn #nature #leaf #leaves #tree #trees #calm #peace #life #seasons #photography

When we let our fears and worry consume us, we miss our appointment with life. It is vital to return to our breathing and be in the present moment. It is all we truly have. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #sunset #ocean #life #calm #peace #sky #mindfulness #photography

As we head into a new week, please know that your best is good enough. Be kind to yourself. Our fears and anxieties are real, but there is still so much that is beautiful about life. If we can pause and mindfully return to the present moment, we can find calm. May your week be peaceful. 😊 #life
