Sometimes all that’s needed is 🕰️ outdoors; to be, reconnect, ground yourself & remember who you are.
It’s fresh & blustery outside, but cosy in a local pub.
1st mince 🥧 of the season (@nourishworkplce.bsky.social would be proud) & a brew from a 🫖 (@hazelmpinner.bsky.social would approve). #Sundaying

Then, the happy bubble has just been popped by #Teen2 who compared them to “bloke boots from Star Wars”!
