📍 𝑨𝒚𝒔𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 . . . ⠀ ⠀⠀ . . . surrounded by woodland and farmland in the Yorkshire Dales, Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls carved out and created by the force of the River Ure • Set over a mile, the river guides you from Upper Force (the closest to the Visitor Centre) to Middle & Lower Force along woodland and Limestone paths ... you then have a choice - a simple meander back to the visitor centre or a lovely walk out to Castle Bolton?⠀ ⠀⠀ Managed by the National Parks Authority, entry to the site is free (but car parking is chargeable), you can could choose to just take in the falls (around 1.5 miles) or do the circular to Castle Bolton that beefs your walk up to around 6.5 miles instead • Mr D and I didn’t complete the Castle Bolton route, but did complete around 5 miles around the Falls and Freeholders Wood that I can highly recommend.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ >> If you want to make a weekend of it, there a number of hotels and sites you can stay at in and around Aysgarth or alternatively you could pick an AirBnB as we did in Reeth!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #exploreyourbackyard #backyardadventures #exploremore #exploretocreate #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietchaoticsflashesofdelight #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #lovegreatbritain #aseasonalyear #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #ourbackyard #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Aysgarth Falls, Yorkshire Dales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wHi3YhAac/?igshid=2fl76t53ch

𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . Thirty-Six?⠀ ⠀ Thank you for all the birthday love today ... I’m sorry if I haven’t replied to you all yet, but this lil old gal has been a little overwhelmed by the number of messages, comments and mentions today - I really do have the best followers!⠀ ⠀ Safe to say that I am leaning into what feels good today - I treated myself to a hot breakfast at work, I’ve been to the gym and now I’m heading out for a meat feast with Mr D • It’s taken a while for me to accept that it’s ok to do what you want to do every once in a while and now that I have, there’s no going back.⠀ ⠀ Here’s to 36 and all the fun it brings!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mindfulness #mindfulliving #bemindful #mindfulmoment #personaldevelopment #powerofnow #mindfulnessmeditation #selfknowledge #awareness #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #myslowandsimple #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7T0c8whsAz/?igshid=f4vfov9pg270

📍 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒍 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . situated on Cogden Moor, just south of Grinton in Swaledale - Grinton Smelt Mill is a ruined lead mining and processing site • Closed in the late 1800s, the site is now home to the sheep and grouse that live on the moor and is grade II* listed.⠀ ⠀ We followed the Grinton Lead Mine Walk that starts and finishes in Reeth • Whilst the weather started out pleasant enough, by the time we accidentally started to climb High Harker Hill, it turned into a force 10 gale and icy rain • It quickly got to the point where neither of us could look up and we abandoned the climb about 15ft from the summit, making our escape down the face of the hill towards the village!!!⠀ ⠀ >> You could start this walk in either Reeth or Grinton - both villages have an assortment of guest houses and Airbnb’s (which we opted for) ... best still there’s a roaring fire and a pint of Black Sheep awaiting you at the end!!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #exploreyourbackyard #backyardadventures #exploremore #exploretocreate #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietchaoticsflashesofdelight #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #lovegreatbritain #aseasonalyear #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #ourbackyard #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Grinton Moor) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MGi8nh7XE/?igshid=1dq1garywq5dc

📍 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒉𝒂𝒎 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒔 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . tucked away in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, Brimham is home to an amazing collection of rock formations • It’s a spot that Mr D & I have been visiting together for the last decade (or more) and one that we never tire of! ⠀ ⠀ Managed by the National Trust, entry to the site is free (but car parking is chargeable if you’re not a member), and you can spend hours hiking and climbing around the 0.6 square mile area • Conveniently if you are a member, the rocks are only a short mile from Fountains Abbey, another Trust site.⠀ ⠀ >> If you want to make a weekend of it, Brimham Rocks are about 20 minutes outside of both Ripon and Masham (home to the Black Sheep Brewery) ... or you could head further north as we have to Swaledale!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #exploreyourbackyard #backyardadventures #exploremore #exploretocreate #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietchaoticsflashesofdelight #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #lovegreatbritain #aseasonalyear #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #ourbackyard #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Brimham Rocks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Jf4xRBbsQ/?igshid=iufu402f7xp

𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 . . . ⠀ ⠀ . . . one week into the new year (and the new decade of course) and I already feel light years ahead of where I was at this point last year!⠀ ⠀ I think a big part of this is the amount of preparation I did in December - after a few sessions with my coach @sophiecliff in November and some long conversations with Mr D, I started the year with a clear vision for 2020 • I also sat down and looked at all of the things I wanted to achieve this year and picked my word for the year : GROWTH.⠀ ⠀ I want to grow my business, grow my skill set, grow my friendship circle, grow my self-confidence, grow my strength ...⠀ ⠀ I will ask myself “will this help me grow” when making decisions this year, I will ask myself “how have I grown” when I reflect on my year and I will constantly look for opportunities to grow • Having a word to guide your year is a much softer approach to New Years resolutions that we are traditionally taught - and in my eyes a much more focused one.⠀ ⠀ What is your word of the year?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #exploreyourbackyard #backyardadventures #exploremore #exploretocreate #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietchaoticsflashesofdelight #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #lovegreatbritain #aseasonalyear #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #ourbackyard #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Bolton Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Bw3i7hrsA/?igshid=1g3ivk5tafcu1

𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 . . .⠀ ⠀ . . . towards the festive season, I decided to look into switching my site hosting over as it was up for renewal • Unfortunately, in hindsight, I should probably have started the process sooner (but hey we live, we learn) as it isn’t exactly easy to get things done over the Christmas / New Year break!⠀ ⠀ But being without access to it for the last few (read : four) days has allowed me to really switch off • It’s allowed me time to look at what I want to do and achieve in 2020 • It’s allowed me time to concentrate on myself - to move more, to smile more and to love more • We may only be a few days into the new year, but I am already learning a big lesson this year;⠀ ⠀ “It’s ok to be lost in space sometimes, by getting lost we can find ourselves”⠀ ⠀ When was the last time you allowed yourself to get lost?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #exploreyourbackyard #backyardadventures #exploremore #exploretocreate #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietchaoticsflashesofdelight #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #lovegreatbritain #aseasonalyear #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #ourbackyard #myslowandsimple #myslowandwild #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Bowness-on-Windermere) https://www.instagram.com/p/B605nughtnk/?igshid=1n0w8mckizuth

𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓 . . .⠀ ⠀ . . . goodbye 2019 and hello 2020 • You may want to save this post for later • It’s a meaty one!⠀ ⠀ Recently I put something on my stories about not seeing growth or engagement on here anymore and someone pointed out that they simply didn’t feel my account added anything to their life any more • They no longer found it useful or helpful - yet they still followed me because, in their own words, they felt like they should • And that got me thinking.⠀ ⠀ I’ve had this account since 2012 - back then my pictures were of my fish, my meals and my random days out • Until yesterday I still followed the same accounts I did back then and when I created a personal IG account a few months ago I followed family and friends on there meaning I was now following them twice • So I’ve started the year by stripping it all back - spring cleaning my account if you like and gradually I’ll start to follow those accounts that I miss seeing or that I find myself looking for and I’ll be trying remember why I started blogging whenever I post; to inform, to inspire and to involve.⠀ ⠀ I’m not sure anyone will make it to the end of this post BUT if you need someone to give you permission to take control of your social media feeds, let this be just that • Never allow yourself to feel controlled by those you follow, do not allow you to feel as though you owe people a follow just because you’ve followed them for years • We grow up, we move on and that’s OK!!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mindfulness #mindfulliving #bemindful #mindfulmoment #personaldevelopment #powerofnow #mindfulnessmeditation #selfknowledge #awareness #findingthejoyineveryday #itsprimupnorth #thisishowihueit #happyselves #chattycaptioncommunity #flashesofdelight #thatvelvetfeeling #reallifeandstyle #feelfreefeed #whimsicalwonderfulwild #ofwhimsicalmoments #portraitphotography #aseasonalshift #make_more_magic #seasonalstories #quietinthechaos #quietchaotics #agentlehugforthesoul #myslowandsimple #dreaminginpictures #makingwinter (at Halifax, West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yVWrghejC/?igshid=1906fhmjgdnw
