Morning all. It’s been a while hasn’t it.
I was at National Trust - Stowe on Saturday morning for their For Your Tomorrow sunrise opening of the Standing with Giants installation.
I took numerous photographs (you know me) but this one seems to have resonated with so many people. It’s been liked by nearly 20,000 people and shared by over 1,000 and still rising.
If you get a chance to visit. It’s a stunning setting whatever time of day you visit.

Check your b***s one and all.
Had a rather stressful few weeks but thankfully got the all clear earlier today. Feel very thankful right now, hugged my teenager very hard this afternoon and was a very emotional mum with a bit of eye rolling from said teenager but I don’t care. I am very lucky. (Side note: check your b***s but maybe don’t do that the night before you go on holiday - it doesn’t lend itself to a relaxing time).

Anyway on a totally different note - Howletts Wild Animal Park - anyone been?

Father’s Day spent on the Battlefield Line Railway kept Father and son happy. A first visit for us. And a cuppa stop at my bestie’s before heading home kept me happy too. And NO rain! Happy days. Almost felt like summer.

My insomnia is off the scale at the moment. I’m averaging 3-4 hours sleep a night and I wish I could say that that at least was in one go. It isn’t. I’ve pretty much totally converted to decaf and herbal teas, tried going to bed earlier, later, cut out alcohol other than a Saturday evening glass of vino. My brain just doesn’t switch off and when I finally get off to sleep, it’s guaranteed that’ll I’ll wake up again and then that’s it. Wide awake.
Next remedy to try - pillow spray.
Any other suggestions most welcome.

In other news, my first ever peony bloom is getting ever closer to coming out. It’s looking considerably brighter than I’m feeling 🤣

We all know that this beautiful weather will be gone again in the blink of an eye don’t we but I’m getting some assistance with my fluid intact this week thanks to Highland Spring and their Apple & Blackcurrant Still Spring Water.

A friend of mine died from glioblastoma earlier this year and it really made me think about life. I’m not always the most optimistic of people but now I try really hard to look for the light and grab opportunities as they come along. Eat the ice cream, enjoy the sunshine, and look at the clouds.
Today has definitely been a ‘the housework can wait til later’ kind of day.

I went to the zoo first thing and then popped to Whipsnade Tree Cathedral and Dunstable Downs. And thought of Jo along the way.

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning to take part in a Dawn Chorus Walk around National Trust - Stowe. As I drove into the grounds past the Corinthian Arch a badger walked out in front of the car and trundled up the pathway in front of me. The first time I’ve ever seen one, so that was my day made before the walk had even begun. A magical morning spent in one of my favourite places

There was no plan this morning. Most unusual for me on a day off to have no plan or appointments. Decided to tick a few things off my ‘to explore’ list, so I headed over to Waddesdon Manor and completed the Windmill Hill walk. Really enjoyed the peace and quiet, just me, birds and sheep for company. It was really rather warm by the time I reached the manor. Proper take your coat off and enjoy the sunshine weather.
