I’ve been making a point to appreciate those clear blue skies
I can’t think of a good caption but Merry Christmas and I miss my Dad. 

My heart goes out to everyone struggling, everyone who’s been separated from family - whether by lockdowns or by death. That’s a bit grim. Or if your family sucks, my heart goes out to you, too.

In times like these I take a breather and think about all the things I’m grateful for. It doesn’t change the fact that this year will be the first Christmas without Dad, but it does help a little bit.

🥃🎄
So thankful that I got to see @momandpopsuk and @hannahbutgreener today for our Christmas hike! Even if it poured on us...

As of midnight, Kent is going into its own lockdown over Christmas. I know all of these restrictions and upheavals have been weighing on all of us, so please take care of your mental health! 

Be kind to yourself. 
Eat all that Christmas cheese. 
You deserve it 🧀💛
Here’s a YT thumbnail reject photo to remind you to drink water, lower your shoulders and stop clenching your jaw. 

Take a deep breath. 

Look at this hedgehog 🦔
