Or, rather a week that makes sense as it is currently Mental Health Awareness week here in the UK.  May 10 &#8211; 16th 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole month of May is dedicated to Mental Health and is championed by the Mental Health Foundation.  This week is dedicated to Nature.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.org.uk\/campaigns\/mental-health-awareness-week\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.org.uk\/campaigns\/mental-health-awareness-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link here<\/a>. Encouraging people to head out into nature to refresh themselves and feel better mentally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is a good encouragement, I usually feel better with a potter around the garden after a hard session.  However it also has a, I&#8217;m not sure what to call it, a stigma maybe?  Going and getting some fresh air when you are mentally ill feels as good as going to have a nice cup of tea and a warm bath.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I&#8217;m pleased and encouraged to see the discussion being opened for Mental Health, awareness is the start of the journey, not the destination. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new start, a new blog, a blank page.
