Some of nature’s medicine to ease your timeline. Please remember that your best today was good enough. If you could give no more of yourself and were kind, you have lived the day fully. Do not succumb to the imposters of ego, status or material things. May you rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #life

Trekking through Japan earlier this year, I visited the town of Hakone. The main mode of transport between the villages in the mountains was by cable car. The mountains are still active volcanoes and the sulphur clouds rise from the natural chimneys. All in the shadow of Mount Fuji. 🇯🇵 #Japan #life

Some Cornish calm to end your day with ease. Sundown in Perranporth. May you rest well, my friends. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #beach #sea #sky #ocean #calm #peace #walk #life #mindfulness

This woodland backs on to my house. The parks department do such a great job of looking after all the woodlands in my area. They have recently done some coppicing and it is so lovely to see they have put the old trees to good use, laying a chipped bark path, lined with the mossy trunks. 🌳 #nature

Today’s early morning woodland dog walk. The sweet smell of dew-soaked leaves and the joy of the birdsong chorus. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🌳🐕‍🦺 #nature #trees #woodland #walk #life #birds #dog #calm #peace #mindfulness

Sit awhile and breathe… Down at the creek where I grew up. I spent many hours here on my own: an introvert’s joy. Back then, the swing seat was just a blue rope with a slip knot to put your foot in and swing out over the lapping water. It has been upgraded! May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

My favourite tree in the woodlands. Whenever I pass her, I always pause and quietly say hello and give thanks for her existence. It may sound a silly thing to do, but it is a joyful reminder that we are connected to all things. 🌳 #trees #woodland #nature #life #peace #calm #walk #mindfulness

Sundown at Perranporth End your day with some Cornish calm. Please know that your best today was good enough. Rest well, my friends. We go again tomorrow. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #sky #sea #ocean #calm #peace #mindfulness

Cornish medicine The rugged beauty of North Cliffs, near Godrevy. A calm sea kissing the rocks and cloud shadows cast upon the cliff face. 😊 #Cornwall #sea #ocean #walk #coast #life #calm #peace #nature

Ebb and flow The gentle lapping waters at Porthminster Beach, St Ives. The sea tends to be calmer here as the beach faces north east, compared to her sister beach, Porthmeor, which faces north west and gets the Atlantic on shore breeze. A quiet early morning stroll before the crowds is heavenly. 😊

Vitamin sea 🌊 My old home of Carbis Bay, looking out towards Hayle and Godrevy. The gentle waters and golden sands, capped by the lush greenery of the coastal walk. A little corner of serenity. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #Cornwall #nature #beach #sea #walk #ocean #calm #peace #life

Some late spring joy from my garden. It smells as sweet as it looks. 🌹 #roses #flowers #garden #gardening #calm #peace #nature #life

The River Test, Romsey. Let the flow of water carry you peacefully to the end of your day. A little sanctuary of nature and calm. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #river #trees #walk #calm #peace #life #mindfulness

Today’s early morning woodland dog walk. 7.45am, the air is already thick with the heat and it feels like high summer. At 35C, it is the hottest day in May in the UK on record. Will walk Monty again in the coolness of dusk later on. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🌳 #nature #woodland #trees

Good morning, fellow coffee lovers. Drink the coffee first, then do the things. May your day be peaceful. ☕️ #coffee #life

My good friend @jamesgwriter.bsky.social has his debut novel coming out next week. I have had the privilege of reading it and can confirm it is an utterly brilliant, captivating and imaginative read. I thoroughly recommend purchasing a copy of you can, and help new writers in doing so. 📖 #books

Early morning dog walk in the country lanes. It was already 24C at 8am. The trees looked after us with some shade, and the birds rejoiced at a new day. Come walk with Monty and me.

Havana downpour 🇨🇺 #Cuba #Havana #history #architecture #rain #life #photography #weather #streetphotography

Before the blackouts. Walking the Old Town, Havana, at 1am, talking and drinking with the locals, the humid air wrapped around me, and my senses scratched by the pungent smell of sewage and spiced cooking. The most beautiful and friendly of people. I fell in love with Cuba. 🇨🇺 #Cuba #Havana #life

Growing up on the coast, all too often we had drownings because folk didn’t understand the sea. This is what a rip current looks like from the shore. If you get stuck in one, do not swim into shore. The current will be stronger than you. Swim sideways to get out of it. And stay calm. 🌊 #SeaSafe

To the sea 🌊 Porthkidney Beach, Cornwall, with St Ives in the distance. The subject of many John Miller paintings, it is a beautiful walk all year round. The dog you can see running at the end is Monty when he was a puppy. 😊 #Cornwall #beach #sea #ocean #walk #nature #sky #calm #peace #mindfulness

I love the fact that in the UK we have pubs that are older than America. 🇬🇧 🍺 #UK #USA #pub

My friends, I do not normally do endorsements here, but this is an exception. My buddy @jamesgwriter.bsky.social has his debut novel out this month and it is excellent. I really recommend purchasing a copy and supporting new authors. Thank you so much. ❤️ 📖 #books #write #author #writingcommunity

And so the rains came, but the sound and the smell made the woodlands still glorious. The patter on the canopy and the damp breeze welcoming in their own way. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #woodlands #trees #rain #calm #peace #nature #walk #life #mindfulness

A different spot for today’s morning dog walk. A stroll along the River Test in Romsey. The clear waters of the chalk-bed river running fast and deep, while the birdsong welcomes in the day. Pause with me for a moment of calm. 😊 #Hampshire #nature #river #trees #calm #peace #walk #mindfulness

The old market town of Romsey is my nearest town. An evening stroll with the golden hue of day’s end and a flower-scented breeze. A perfect start to the weekend. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #Hampshire #Romsey #life #calm #peace #home #walk #photography
