Just Humans Being...

We returned home too late last night to write about our day, but here we are... Day 3's activity was to sit under/by a tree for 30 minutes, so as we were heading to Hugo's college - we decided to have a little detour to Idless Woods. Just before the woods we passed a wonderful sight. An old phone box turned into a book exchange... Such a great idea! In the woods...  It was a mild, calm day. We saw this cottage through the trees - it was lovely watching the smoke. We had the whole place to ourselves. The branches always seem to make shelters when they fall.  Though this one was man-made! We sat quietly for 30 minutes just listening to the birds. We don't have many trees around our home, we live high above the sea & it's very exposed.  Before we moved here, we lived in a woodland... So being amongst trees feels like home! Kay & Sime xx We Are Wildness

Bebe seems to complain all the time about everything at the moment, but this morning she was in a silly mood & decided that her moaning should stop. Will it last? We shall see... Kay & Sime xx

We've been working in Portmellon today, which is about 2 miles along the coast from us. A lot of the folks we work for now really depend on us, it's much more than just cleaning these days & we are really happy to help out whenever we can.  Today, we just felt it would be nice to offer to take our furry friend out after we cleaned her house. Today's activity is to be up somewhere high. There are no mountains in Cornwall, though there are a couple of stunning hills - but they are quite a drive away from here. We had to work all day, so only had an hour spare before picking up Bebe from daycare. Heading on the coast path from Portmellon to Chapel Point... And looking down towards Chapel Point. Lovely Tara. Us in the pouring rain with Chapel Point behind us... Here's what it's like in the summer. Kay & Sime xx We Are Wildness

We have started our 30 day challenge to spend at least 30 minutes in nature each day. We managed to get ourselves organised & finish work on time for a change! We were down in Gorran Haven, so decided to pop up to the coastal path above Vault Beach.  It was such a wonderful way to rejuvenate ourselves after work & the sea breeze certainly blew the cobwebs away...

We have decided to take part in a 30 day challenge to rewild our lives. It starts tomorrow & it simply means we have to mindfully be outside in nature for 30 minutes a day. It's not always going to be easy, but now the nights are lighter - we want to make the most of it... Whether Bebe will join in, we don't know... Maybe it would be more enjoyable to do it without her. We shall see! We Are Wildness Kay & Sime xx

Our Earth Hour  celebration was lovely, although Bebe was confused & kept changing her mind about eating with us... In the end she ate before we switched the lights off & joined us for a candlelit game of Trivia Pursuit afterwards. Because of Bebe's sundowning condition, she automatically thinks that it's cold when dark... So even though it was very warm next to the woodburner - she spent the evening in her coat! She still managed to answer lots of questions... We were very impressed! Kay & Sime xx

For the past few years, we've been to our friends' at Cotna  for Earth Hour. We have always shared a meal & when the weather's been good - we've also enjoyed a bonfire. This year is different for us...  Bebe is here, so in less than an hour - we shall be eating a candlelit meal cooked on the woodburner. Is anyone else switching off for  Earth Hour ? If so, we'd love to hear about your evening. Bye for now. Kay & Sime xx
