This heatwave here in the UK has certainly felt extreme. We're just not a country that's really set up for these temperatures! One thing it has made me appreciate, though, is the life I've built. I've been able to slow down, listen to my body, and only do what's really necessary. We're lucky to have a big, mature birch tree in our garden that creates the most wonderful patch of shade for our family. The difference in temperature is incredible as soon as you step beneath its branches. It reminds me just how valuable our trees are—not just for wildlife, but for us too. I've attached some photos, before the sun rises above the tree. I've enjoyed the sunshine, but after a very hot night and not much sleep, I have to admit... I'm quite looking forward to a drop in temperature! Over the past few days I've seen a few clients, worked on my Self-heal mini-course, read a few chapters of books, and even managed the occasional afternoon nap. It feels like nature has been reminding me to work with the season rather than against it. How have you found the heat? Have you been loving it, or counting down until the cooler weather returns? And I do wonder... are air conditioning companies in the UK suddenly going to be the busiest ever? 😄🌿
