Travel has always been a passion of mine and I have been lucky enough to have travelled to some wonderful places, but finding adventure in my own backyard is looking more and more inviting.
Receiving a hammock for Christmas certainly got the ball rolling for me. Who would have thought relaxing in a swinging seat with a good book could be so good?
Why not try building a small pond? I have a friend who made one from river stones, and it is gorgeous. Add some water-loving plants and goldfish, and soon the local frogs will pay a visit and your little pond will give you hours of enjoyment.
You will be surprised at the walks available in your own town. I went on two the other day, and I was brought up in my town and never knew they even existed until a few years ago. Gorgeous fern-lined paths in my backyard, such a wonderful find!
