Feel Good Outdoor Fitness
I do like a good think and plan and this week has been great for it. I’ve been thinking and planning our last few months of the year so that we reach our 10th anniversary ready to take on ten more. It got me thinking about averages and norms. The life span of a UK […]
This is more a ‘don’t miss your chance’ recipe, rather than ‘not throwing stuff away when you’re not sure what to do with it’ conundrum. Boiling up a gammon is a great way to get some lovely ham for salads and sandwiches, but the water left afterwards is precious and brilliant for making soups with. […]
At my course/retreat two weeks ago we were looking at all the aspects that can affect a person’s ability to feel truly vital. It goes beyond eating well and exercising. If you want to feel really, truly vital there are other areas that, when left unaddressed, can create a huge obstacle to progress. There’s […]
I had the pleasure of spending some time with James Barrs of Nutrileaves today. James owns and runs Nutrileaves, an urban farming business, based in Woosehill, where he grows, harvests and delivers his fabulous microleaves. Microleaves are a powerhouse in terms of nutrition. They have been nicknamed ‘hyper foods‘ because their potency in terms […]
In my attempt to help reduce the amount of food waste we create I am collaborating with other local businesses to share their knowledge too. Over in Knowl Hill Kran Sondh owns and runs award winning The CookCurry Club, a takeaway with a twist. Every fortnight Kran prepares a homecooked Indian curry dinner, just as […]
Hello July 🙂 I am not sure quite how that happened. It doesn’t seem that long ago that it was a relief to have the clocks going back and getting longer nights. Now here we are in the midst of summer, with some heat (at last), and some sweaty Fit Camps under our even sweatier […]
This is a fabulously quick and easy way to use up half bags of spinach leaves or rocket, fresh herbs and kale leaves or any green leafy stalks that you may not use ordinarily (think cauliflower, broccoli or kale). When using the stalks, quickly blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes before plunging […]
It’s one of those weeks when Friday with Heidi is a big fat lie. It’s Tuesday and I am starting the process now because, after Wednesday night, I am not here for a few days. So less of a week’s view, more of of snapshot of the week. Last night I (should have) arrived in […]
What a flurry of a week. Since we last spoke our daughter has returned from Australia for good as she heads off into 4 years of education to be a midwife. This has been all very quickly decided and acted upon, so we now have a house guest! I also seem to have had a […]
How quickly one forgets. As I crossed the finish line in Bridport last week at the Jurassic Coast Challenge, I said to my trusty supporters, “I don’t need to do that again“. It’s not one week on and I am already thinking that it wasn’t really so bad and that maybe I would do it […]
