Did you take some time out to relax this weekend?It's so important to relax and restore. I didn't take as much time out as I should have, but I did take a bit, and it's a start! Are you good at taking time out? Or do you struggle as I do?

How are you feeling about going out these days? Are you venturing out this weekend?⁣
⁣
We are still sticking pretty close to home, although we did venture out to see our lovely friend and hairdresser, Joe this week. It is really important to me to support small businesses, but I still don't feel going out much beyond our daily hikes, visiting local shops occasionally and our weekly pizza takeaway evening. I also always wear a mask outside of our home or car, except when I'm exercising. ⁣

Are you a morning person? ⁣
⁣
The practice of walking with my husband @guyjharris66 in the forests near our home early every morning has changed my life. Over the past 11 weeks, I've gone from "not a morning person" to someone who can't wait to get up every morning. We both find we are more energised and productive throughout the day as well. Most days we set out before 7am, and walk 6 to7 km in just over an hour. It definitely starts the day off on the right foot (if you'll forgive the pun!)

My husband and I have been reducing our intake of

My husband and I have been reducing our intake of meat for some time now, but during lockdown we somehow slipped back into our old habits of eating meat more than a few times per week.. We are getting back on track with meals like this Vegetable and Cashew Stir Fry. It's hearty and delicious, with a homemade sauce that knocks the socks off store bought sauces. There's vegan and gluten free options too. ⁣
