The space where I talk about stuff, probably travel.
Martin Mere
What a great place! Originally, we wanted to go out for a walk but couldn't decide where to go. So we donned our thinking caps for somewhere good to go and landed on Martin Mere. Perfect, plenty of walking to be done there as well as hides to try snap some shots of pretty birds. I didn't realise just how many different species of ducks, swans and geese.
This is why places like places like Martin Mere are so important because they can teach us so much. A big thing they focus on is conservation and preservation of wetlands, as well as educating people on the importance of keeping them going. I think that the work they do is massively important and I believe that we should be trying our hardest to preserve the natural beauty of the world.
Pottering
What do swans have to do with pottering? Well, that's simple. You have to be pottering somewhere in order to see them. Unlike you and I swans like to be swimming about, up and down bodies of water. In the case of this fella, he was on the Leeds Liverpool canal by Barrowford.
Why is it important? Well it got me out of the house, even for an hour or two. This helped to keep me grounded. Seeing wildlife reminds me of what's important. Of course your job is important but not as important as looking after yourself and if you go out for a little walk whether that be up the side of a canal, through a field or up a walking lane it can help bring you some perspective or help clear your mind of negativity.
