There are two types of people in this world…those who climb mountains for fun, and those who spend a week afterwards wondering why they did 😅⛰️
Daisy’s latest column is a beautifully honest reflection on climbing Snowdon, navigating grief, and finding the strength to keep going, even when life feels heavy 💛
It’s raw, real, and quietly powerful…and one we think will stay with you.

Not a bad spot to spend an afternoon… ⛳

I found myself up at Orchardleigh Estate today while the kids were at the driving range, and it’s such a peaceful place to sit for a while. Even on a drizzly Saturday it’s looking pretty lovely.

Frome is lucky to have places like this right on the doorstep - always nice discovering (or rediscovering!) beautiful spots around town. 🌿

Cycling back from Sainsbury’s this morning we spotted the team at Treads Vehicle Services Ltd just around the corner giving cars a good scrub while raising money for We Hear You 💙
If your car is looking a little muddy after this week’s weather, why not pop over and get it washed while supporting a brilliant local cause?
Every little helps! 🙌
