Ooh, this popped up on my memories this morning 😂
Now I want to change the retreat timetable next weekend to add it in. It would make the perfect post-dinner activity, wouldn’t it? 😂😂

On this day every year, I carve out a little space just for myself. Time to be quiet, to remember, and to reflect 😌
After physio this morning, I headed into Chester for a much-needed hair appointment with the fabulous Leanne Victoria Hair Design.
Then I treated myself to lunch at the incredible pink_lettuce_chester (if you haven’t been yet… honestly, you’re missing out 😋).
The sunshine was glorious, so I chose an outside table overlooking the rows and simply sat. No phone. No chatter. Just the warmth of the sun on my back, people watching, and a chance to let my thoughts settle.
It was a lovely few hours. A little self kindness that felt restorative in a way I really needed.

When people say “Pilates is a bit like yoga,” you can be sure they’ve never met these beauties 👇
Five springs.
Three footbar settings.
Almost 100 different combinations of resistance, support, challenge, and variation.
And yes… sometimes the lightest spring is the hardest of all 😥
When we say the Reformer is adaptable, we’re not exaggerating.
Whatever your fitness level, mobility, injury history, or confidence, the Reformer has your back.
One piece of equipment.
Endless possibilities.
A full-body, functional, deeply intelligent workout that grows with you, supports you, and challenges you. All at once.

If you haven’t tried a class on the Pilates Reformer, you’re missing a trick.

Today is World Kindness Day, and it’s made me pause and think about what kindness truly looks like 😌
It isn’t always the big, dramatic gestures. More often, it’s the quiet things - a cup of tea placed in front of you without a word, the smile that softens a heavy moment, a gentle ‘are you ok?’ or the feeling when someone cared enough to show up.
I’ve been held by so many small kindnesses recently- after Miss M’s accident, and my own injury, and through the heartbreak of losing Sir Douglas, and in those moments where life felt a little too sharp. People reached out, checked in and steadied me.
And I’m also reminded that every year that World Kindness Day falls on the anniversary of mums passing, when I was surrounded with the gentle presence of others when it mattered most.
Kindness doesn’t need noise or fanfare.
It’s quiet, steady and deeply human.
And on days like today, and in times like this, it means absolutely everything.

If you can be anything, be kind 😘

Still restricted in what I can do, but definitely improving.
Novembers programme is challenging (although, as always, totally modifiable), and getting great feedback 👍
I really enjoyed finally doing a full workout. I’ve lost a load of strength, flexibility and fitness, but the Reformer is a forgiving beast.

Strong, unilateral work in class this morning 💪

Have you forgotten yet?...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same--and War's a bloody game...
Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz--
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench--
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?'

Do you remember that hour of din before the attack--
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads--those ashen-grey
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you'll never forget.
