I’ve been involved with MindfulnessUk for several years, providing support to maintain financial accounts. They are an incredible team, with a huge amount of knowledge and understanding of mindfulness and compassion. Offering my bookkeeping and accounting knowledge to complement their inspiring work is very gratifying. Outside of my professional life my family keep me busy …
I’m most happy and at peace in an ancient forest with a small cabin overlooking a clearing, nestled in a valley with tree-filled slopes rising all around. I sit near the cabin door, warmed by the log burner, absorbed by nature all around me. This happy place began as a visualisation during meditation practice about …
To keep a clear head I like to have busy feet or busy hands. I’m lucky enough to live in the beautiful Devon countryside so there’s plenty of places to explore either on foot or two wheels by myself or with the family. I love making things too and will have a go at …
I live much of my life in the beautiful countryside and love long beach walks with Jimmy our brown Labrador. I also appreciate my yoga practice and fit a little bit in daily. It helps me centre and ground and gets me supple for my walks. Post walk I enjoy a read but also listen …

Walking on the many terraines is grounding, the expansive space refreshing, the sound of waves calming, the ebb and flow is a fabulous reminder of impermanence and how things are always changing. Being in water is such a pleasure for me, exhilarating and energising. Of …
I’m so happy riding Bluebell, my electric bike, on the Blackdown Hills. I actually laugh out loud as I’m working hard going up a hill, huffing and puffing then flick on the electrics and whoosh along. It’s exhilarating finding lanes and routes I’ve never been along before
