New Routines

The end of our autumnal days has seen us enjoying Norfolk’s beaches and woodlands. November was filled with birthday celebrations and pet sitting duties. Four of the cutest house rabbits, a beautiful cat and then two lively, fun spaniels and a cheeky boxer. I’m not sure a career change is in the pipeline, but it’s certainly kept me busy and got me into a routine for a few weeks. 

On our journey back to Norfolk, I spent my final night on the road catching up and enjoying dinner with some very special ladies, all of whom I worked with almost twenty years ago at the start of my teaching career. They are all strong and creative and just great fun to spend time with. They reminded me that even though you don’t get to see some friends as often as you’d like, friendships can be picked up where you left off - it honestly was so easy to just sit, chat and laugh together.

The end of November also brought with it a job opportunity and so in the new year I shall be back in the magical world of children and forest school as I take on a part-time teaching role in a small school. I hope to continue van adventures in the UK on my long weekends, as there are still places I’d like to explore and more than ever I believe we should do the things we’d like to do whilst we have our fitness and health. I’ll end with a quote I like from Jack Kerouac, 

Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry. There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.’
