You're not behind - A slower pace in the last grey days of winter

- I’ve recently been feeling like I’m running out of time, that there aren’t enough hours in the day and I’m falling behind. One of the best ways I’ve found of dealing with these feelings is to keep spending time outside in nature connecting to the seasons and celebrating the small beauty in the everyday.
This walk was filmed on a windy and sunny February day on Two Tree Nature Reserve along the Thames Estuary in Essex, UK. I then came back to my studio and printed my Coastal Walk linocut print. Full of shells, coastal plants and flowers - it’s a reminder to me of slowing down and getting lost in the simple pleasures and treasures around us.
Featured Print - ‘Coastal Walk’ linocut print, a limited edition of 50.

What a gorgeous print!
This is such a beautiful video with a really great message! Thank you for all of the time, consideration, and energy you’ve put into your content
Thank you for your comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed it
I totally agree with you about spending time in nature. The world moves too fast for me.i just let the world be the world and if i want to i'll catch up in my own good time!!😊
Lovely videos, just so lovely 😊😊, more Please 🤗, love from Sweden
Ah thank you for the encouragement, hopefully there'll be another one in the next couple of weeks!
Take as much time as you need let the world just carry on. I am British living i America. Your videos are a true blessing to me. Thank you.😊
Ah what a nice comment, thank you fellow Brit 😊
It is so freeing to recognise that we do not need to buy into the accepted narrative of success, commercialism and societal pressures.
Your calming, sublimely beautiful video conveys this so well and shows that reconnecting with nature is something all of us can do to reset and restore our true selves.
So lovely to see another of your videos and the scenery is so breathtaking. You’re so right, there is nothing better for your mental health than nature. I find gardening a great help as you just concentrate on one task at a time❣️
Ah I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos, I’ve had some wobbles with this one so that helps thank you! Yes you’re right, doing one task at a time is another thing I’ve learnt recently always feels better, but really isn’t encouraged!
Such a beautiful film and art work. A real oasis. Thank you for these moments of peace ❤❤
Thank you, I'm so glad it brought you some peace
so true - we are rushed through life at a pace that we often cant control - thankyou for sharing this resonates with me so much, best wishes form Essex aswell
Ah I'm glad you can relate!
