Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that this Friday we have our monthly 'Walking the Seasons' mindful walk which takes place at Durham Botanic Gardens. Hopefully we should see a few early spring flowers :)

In winter the gardens close at 3pm so this month we will be meeting at 1:15pm rather than 1:30pm in the free car park there. We usually stay for coffee afterwards, finishing around 3pm.

To find out more, get in touch with us via email at TEWV.recoverycollege@nhs.net, or give us a ring on (0191) 4510890 🙂

Many thanks to those of you that have alreadt sent photos across :)

A final reminder that we plan to get some A3 photos printed and framed to go up around the college to make things a bit more homely and welcoming for students.

We are specifically looking for photos taking in and around Durham and the wider North East - this might be of the cathedral, landscapes, wildlife (e.g. birds, flowers), townscapes, etc. It would be nice to have a few photos taken in spring (daffodils, blossom etc).

If you'd like your photo to be included send 2-3 images to peter.swan5@nhs.net. Please sent the highest resolution image possible for printing purposes (should be around 3000+ pixels on the longest side)
