Early 2020 saw one of its biggest challenges in recent memory. Covid-19 impacted everyone and changed the way we live and work.
This new way of life presented us with different opportunities, such as exploring our local outdoor spaces and re-engaging with nature. Many of us took walks or bike-rides closer to home. These wanders, or meanderings, were one positive thing to come out of the situation. We invite you to take a wander through these evocative landscapes, they may even inspire your next walk. This has been a difficult time, but many of us have rediscovered things that were so easily missed before.
So as the nights grow longer, and the weather grows colder, we invite you to take a step back, relax, and have a meander.
