As I am finding my feet when it comes to writing, it thought it about time to get a bit more personal and specify the place from which my writing is coming. It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2021, so what better time than now to share how grounding myself in nature is providing the foundation for my recovery.

Happy New Year! I’ve moved to South Somerset and I can’t wait to share my sights and experiences with you throughout the year, as well as share my progress as I look towards my future nature/career goals.

In this post, I discuss how I use nature to ground me on a bad mental health day. Watching kestrel fledglings, fulmars, house martins and rock pipits on a balmy evening post-storm was exactly what I needed on a day that didn’t feel so bright.
