It’s sometimes easy to get wrapped up in our own lives and problems. One of the things I like about spending a lot of time outside surrounded by nature is that it reminds us that there is a whole big world out there and helps put things in perspective. I didn’t have to go far today to bring a smile to my face. This woodpecker has a nest full of chicks in a tree in my garden!

I’m also smiling because Barry and I travel to Jersey tomorrow for their sea kayaking symposium. We’re spending 2 weeks in the channel islands helping out at the symposium and hopefully kayaking to some of the other islands.

Christmas came early today aswell as I received some lovely  new Ortlieb, Petzl, Exped & Guyot Designs kit ready to try out in Jersey. I’ll write about my favourite bits of kit once I try them out.
