Obligatory gym-return post...
Felt so good to be back, and although I struggled with stuff I was able to do easily before lockdown, I feel like I'm starting from a good place and hopefully won't be long til I get my form back!

Big up @puregymofficial for making it feel as safe as possible, too. And @lxw.ndn for being a great workout buddy like the old days 💪😉

Zen-ed out after some morning yoga ☮✌
•
I've started practicing the last few weeks as a way of grounding myself, keeping to a maintainable routine and to improve my flexibility. I've always struggled, as I have short tendons all over the place and am flat-footed. I always put off doing the exercises I was given when I was younger, but as I've got older, and seeing how some of my family have suffered with pain and limited mobility, I decided it was time to do something about it.

I'm still VERY much a beginner; some of even the basic asanas (poses) are beyond me, still. But I'm already noticing posture improvements and some movements seem easier. I also think it's making me look more toned, which I'm not going to complain about!

🌍📌 Samaria Gorge, Chania, Greece, 2019

The water running through Samaria gorge sparkles brilliantly in the sun - and tastes amazing! There are various natural springs along the walk, allowing you to stop for a drink when needed.

Despite the heat, there is also a surprising amount of lush, colourful fauna. All in all, the area is just spectacular. As one of the longest gorges in Europe, it's a must-see for anyone fancying a challenge when on Crete.

🌍📌 Samaria Gorge, Chania, Greece, 2019

The Samaria Gorge is open during the middle of the year, before it closes for the winter, partly so dangerous conditions and high water are avoided. The actual gorge is roughly 13km long, but then an additional walk is required to reach Agia Roumeli, to hop on a ferry and leave the gorge National Park.

We luckily began the walk early enough so that we completed it in daylight - it took us most of the day to complete the journey. But it was worth every minute: the stunning landscapes and interesting sights along the way make for a very enjoyable, albeit physically tiring, adventure. Watching the protected Kri-Kri (Cretan Wild Goats) scale the rocky terrain is quite something. The area is one of the last where they can still be found.

🌍📌 Samaria Gorge, Chania, Greece, 2019

Feeling a pang of wanderlust this week because of the rain we've had in the UK 🌧 💭 BUT... I launched my website/blog which is something I'm really keen on developing. The link is in my bio if you fancy taking a look x

Embarking on a new venture reminded me once again of my holiday to Chania last year, where I really pushed myself out of my comfort zone and experienced so much that the island had to offer. One of the highlights was a trek through the geographically stunning Samaria Gorge on the west side of Crete: a challenging hike of about 16km, that was harder than any of our group expected - especially in 30+ degree heat!

On the final full day of our trip to Chania, we took a pleasure boat ride out to see the island of Lazaretta, perfectly timed to watch the sunset, which was breathtaking. The skipper and other crew members delighted us with traditional singing and explained the sad history of the island, before we returned to the beautiful venetian harbour for dinner. All in all, a great trip.

I spent time on Chania with friends in June 2019, as my first holiday abroad. The island was beautiful, with significant historical places to discover and explore. I also seized the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, heading out to sea (on what became VERY choppy waters) to see a lagoon, snorkelling in open water to a shipwreck and being pulled out at speed on a giant inflatable by a speedboat.

Lazaretta, Greek ‘Λαζαρέττα’, is a tiny, uninhabited island, just off the coast of Crete, near Chania. The name comes from ‘Lazarus, patron saint of lepers, appropriate due to the island’s use as a quarantine for people suffering from leprosy from the 17th century onwards, the salty water surrounding the island meant to prevent them swimming to Crete.

Portmeirion even played host to its own annual music festival, Festival n°6, between 2012 and 2018. Sadly, the organisers are currently giving the event a break, as numbers were beginning to outgrow the capacity of the village.

The day my brother and I stumbled across the village was sadly quite wet, but that did little to dampen the charm of the place, and I could only imagine how much more pleasant it would be on a glorious summer's day. ☁️🌞

Not only a striking tourist destination, but also

Not only a striking tourist destination, but also a cultural relic, Portmeirion was the filming location for the 1960s TV series The Prisoner, created by and starring Patrick McGoohan as the titular character, with the village adding a mysterious character to the cult classic. 📺

Today, the village plays host to many visitors coming to explore, having been acquired by a charitable trust . There are cafes, hotels and shops, giving people plenty to do while they admire the quirky Italianate architecture.

The village of Portmeirion is a somewhat hidden gem on the North Wales coast. Developed into its current form between 1925-1976 by Welsh architect William Clough-Ellis, its curious style is derived from coastal villages of the Mediterranean.

A collection of colourful buildings, winding paths and extensive grounds make it an intriguing place to spend a day exploring. 👣🏛️🌈
