A day in the woods...

The lakes






Last Friday, my family and I decided to do something a little different over the Easter weekend. Rather than staying home or seeing other family members, we took a drive into Cheshire and ventured out into Delamere Forest.


Now, those who know me know that if anyone even mentions the word "exercise" I start to feel tired, because let's face it, I'm not the most active person... yet the idea of wandering through the forest made me somewhat happy.... 

I'm not sure whether it was the open space, the gorgeous weather, or just the fact I got a break from A-Level revision that did the trick, but I instantly felt free when I was out there. I know that sounds like such a bad cliché, but the picturesque views were so refreshing, and I can't wait to go back for another wander...

I think my day in the woods has sparked a love for walking, whether it's aimlessly through the forest or taking a stroll on the beach, and it's motivated me to take up running... Let's see how that goes...

Introduction

So I'm not quite sure where to begin...
Hello! 
I'm not great at introductions, and for that I apologise...

I've wanted to start a blog for a while now, but I've never had the guts, nor the inspiration to actually do it. I don't know why today is different, why I've suddenly plucked up the courage to write this, but I'm just going to go with it anyway. 

I'm quite a shy person until you get to know me, and there's nothing that scares me more than public confrontations, which is partly the reason why it's taken me until now to do this. I know that writing a blog isn't exactly a "public confrontation" as such, but the thought of putting myself out there to the world terrifies me a little. 

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Do one thing every day that scares you." and this is my way of doing that. 

I don't know exactly what I'll write, nor how frequently, but with exams coming up for me shortly I won't imagine I'll be doing extensive blogging until summer, watch this space!
