Good morning everyone, and a big shout out to anyone who’s doing W6R3 today. I’ve just done it - 25 mins felt like a big step up but it turns out that it’s just like doing 20 mins (W5R3) but you keep going πŸ˜‚ More of the same for W7 next week!

Not further necessarily... just a tad longer run time after Week 7. :)

Enjoy... the longer run times are perfect for relaxing into and taking slowly and steadily:)

It ' s easy.. slow and steady gets you where you wish to be, safely and enjoyably and of course... snails are awesome.. and I should know!

My granddaughter, ( totally into our natural world and the saving of it), will be delighted to see that and very impressed that her Grammy knows someone who owns one...her father's name is... Matthew too!
