The lights are low and the blanket warm. A book on my lap, one by my side. Wind in the chimney, dusk birdsong in the trees. A car horn, a distant train. My partner returning with food he will cook and we will eat. We made it through 2019, everyone. #HappyChristmas 🎄#gratitude #hope #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #WritingCommunity #writerslife

In midwinter, Venus arrives at four o' clock, when streetlights glitter through trees and amber windows gleam. She flickers above our footprints which shine then fade as we hurry home. She keeps safe our slumber until the pale #WinterSolstice dawn. #wildsoulwalks #naturewriting #naturephotography #naturewalks #worklifebalance #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland

My December grief returns on the wings of sanderlings that weave along the shore. I crunch across a flight path of dropped, smashed clams, broken halves tramped into mud. There is beauty in what remains I will find it again. #hope #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poemsofinstagram #poetry

A bluebell dusk and a satin moon, the arc of an aeroplane or passing star. I pause on the promenade to hear the waves' song, soothing me, grounding me: 'here is where you belong.' #moonrise #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amwriting #scotlandisnow #visitscotland #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory

We return home with woodsmoke wound in our hair. From naming trees and fallen colours, and stamping soles in bus stop queues. Exhaust fumes hang in clouds whispering the secrets of journeys. Today is scented with moments past, we breathe and let go. #wildsoulwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #autumn #autumnwalks #November

Today I'm #grateful. All clear on medical stuff where fear clung to me like smirr. And fog. And drenching showers flashed with lightning. Instead, a long birdsong walk in a new park, some writing, plus @silverpebble2 #thewildremedy Just a beautiful read. #wildsoulwalks #nhs #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #birdsongwalks #writersofinstagram #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerslife #walking #gratitude

A lavender sky hovers. I weave through a wonderland beneath sleeping birds deep in neon dreams. 2/2 #wildsoulwalks #nofilter #naturewriting #naturephotography #naturewalks #worklifebalance #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #London #Southbank #nationaltheatre #November #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking

Dusk falls, lights pop. A new #November night unfolds. Shadows slip over an urban forest. 1/2 #wildsoulwalks #naturewriting #naturephotography #naturewalks #worklifebalance #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #London #Southbank #nationaltheatre #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking

Journeying through Edgelands, hurtling in and out of rain. Hemmed by tracks and fences, places wild with berries and litter. Land forgotten and unseen, lost to hills of copper and gold, or flooded fields which flash the sky. #wildsoulwalks #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #travelwriting #traveltales #wanderlust #journeys #travelling #travelstories #travelphotography #journeysofinstagram #trainsofinstagram #writersofinstagram
