| Mr A at St Fagans |
Life at the best of times can be described as manic or crazy as we move through this modern world at a faster pace than ever before. It can at times be pretty overwhelming and I think that every now and then it's a good idea to take a step back, breath in some fresh air and take time to enjoy the little things, as we as recalibrate. I know if the little man and I don't touch base with our two favourite places we both start to get a little bit of cabin fever especially since we love the outdoors but St Fagans and the Amelia Trust farm hold a special place in our heart and whenever things seem on top of us, or my mind is feeling full and I can sense those dreaded heartaches coming these are the two places we visit to restore some calm back into our lives.
I am a true believer in the healing of power of nature and the benefits of spending as much time connecting with the natural world. I certainly feel more grounded and have a clearer head after a walk in the countryside and those positive effects are certainly seen with Mr A as well. I think that is why we love St Fagans - an outdoor museum and Amelia Trust community farm so much as the both offer so many opportunities for both adults and children to enjoy what nature has to offer.

Having just had a newborn and spending the past few days recovering inside I cannot wait to get back out with both Mr A and the new little man to share a #BetterPlaces moment with all of us. Do you have a special place you can go to when your feeling little overwhelmed or your mind is a bit foggy?

What a beautiful restorative place to visit. I agree with you too on the power of nature.
ReplyDeletenothing beats getting outdoors to make me feel better and restore some calm!
ReplyDeleteWoodland or the sea are guaranteed to make me feel calmer and more at peace with everything. Getting outside is the best thing you can do x #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely place to explore. It is amazing what a difference getting out and about in the open air can make
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you were having a great time there, I am lucky to live in 220 acres of countryside and woodland so I can restore myself literally outside my door. Mich x #countrykids
ReplyDeleteHe looks very at home up on that tractor there. Bodmin Moor or the beach are my escapes. I walked the moor with my eldest today as he had a baker day from collage. Like you we all need some space and fresh air. Thak you for sharing your special place on Country Kids
ReplyDeleteAnywhere outside restores my calm although the beach is my favourite
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place, we have somewhere like this too. Nothing like a bit if fresh air to make you all feel better 😀
ReplyDeleteI agree, a bit of fresh air and some sunshine make such a big difference. Lovely photos #CountryKids
