Gentle and beautiful #UnconfinedWalks along the river. Trying to take it easy this weekend and next one is busy. The sunshine, water, and movement were a great combination to refill my cup.

And another #WDPD2025 musical contribution, from Sharon who has strong history in this area!
I hadn't planned to do anything particular for #WDPD this year, but when inspiration hits who am I to deny it?
So, here's my contribution for 2025, all put together since 10:30 this morning! A bit of fun aimed at everyone's "favourite" standard... 😝

I think that went well. It was a lovely mix of fun and serious bits - exactly what community is about. It was great to see lots of familiar and news faces and plenty of chat.
