I wish I could zoom in even more when the moons like this, I'm thinking of using a telescope and shooting through that lense, I wonder if it will work ?? I guess I'll have to get a telescope and find out 😅

Good morning everyone, sending all the positivity you need midweek

🌿 Mid‑week reset
The middle of the week is a powerful place to pause. You’re far enough in to see what’s been weighing on you, and still early enough to shift the direction of the days ahead. A reset doesn’t need noise or drama — it just needs a moment of honesty with yourself.

🌤️ Why today matters
Wednesday gives you space to breathe, reassess, and realign. Nature does this constantly: a quiet pause before the next stretch of growth. Today is your reminder that you don’t have to wait for a Monday or a new month to start again. You can choose a new mindset right now.

- Let go of what’s been dragging you down.
- Keep hold of what’s been working.
- Step forward with clearer intention.

Small shifts today can change the shape of the rest of the week.

🌱 The reset mindset
A mid‑week reset isn’t about starting over — it’s about adjusting your focus. Progress doesn’t always look exciting. Sometimes it’s slow, steady, and almost invisible. But it’s still progress. When you keep your belief strong and your mind steady, everything else begins to follow.

🌬️ Moving forward
Whatever you’re working toward is still forming, even if you can’t see it yet. Today is your chance to lift your energy, tidy your thoughts, and remind yourself that you’re still in control of how this week ends.

Good morning everyone

There’s something fitting about starting a Tuesday in a brand‑new month with a bit of height and perspective. The week has only just begun, the month has only just opened, and it’s the perfect moment to remind yourself that progress doesn’t need to be dramatic to be real.

Watching the drone rise over the canal locks today made it clear — everything moves in stages. One lift at a time. One level at a time. Nothing jumps from the bottom to the top in one go, and neither do we. This week is about keeping your head steady, your focus sharp, and your belief strong, even if the results aren’t showing yet.

The things you’re working toward are moving.
The pieces are shifting.
The progress is happening — even if it’s quiet, slow, or behind the scenes.

And yes… before anyone mentions it… the footage is still slightly on a twist 😅
Thought I’d fixed it after the crash, but apparently the drone wanted to keep its personality.
Still climbing though — just like the rest of us.

New week. New month.
Let’s rise through it, one level at a time.

Good evening everyone, i hope you have all had a great day.

Sit back relax, have a read and enjoy the video 🙏

🌿 Day 7 — The Road to the West Highland Way

Today’s walk was a good one — Thackley to Esholt and back, out along the Leeds–Liverpool Canal and returning along the River Aire. Proper mix of scenery, calm water, woodland edges, and that familiar Yorkshire feel that never gets old.

We stopped at the famous Woolpack for a quick sit‑down, and I’ll be honest — getting back up again aggravated my back for a few minutes. But it eased off after about five minutes of walking, and the rest of the route felt steady enough. I carried 4kg today, and I can definitely feel it tonight… not the usual pains, just tired muscles with a bit of ache mixed in. The usual burning pain I’ve had in my knees for at least six months — the one that’s been absolutely crippling at times — that’s finally fading. Thank god that’s buggered off.

More walks planned this week — at least two more with weight — and over the next six weeks I’m focusing on getting my core as strong as I can. Every bit of this is building towards April and the West Highland Way, the big one.

Wildlife was out today too.
We saw a heron in the old sewage works, a few horses on the way back along the Aire, daffodils starting to show, and even the first bee of the year for me — hiding in the snowdrops. See if you can spot it in the video.

I hope you enjoy the video from today’s walk.
Please comment, like, and share — it helps this page grow and helps spread the motivation, the perseverance, and the reminder that there’s still so much beauty out there. And for those who can’t get out anymore, I hope these walks make you feel like you’re right there with me.

Another day done, another step along the road to the West Highland Way.

I saw my first bumble bee of the year today, can you spot it too ?
