Say Yes to the New

Happy Friday!

A personal one from me today about the power of always being open to learning, being brave to try new things and saying YES to opportunities. 

On Monday my husband and I became the proud owners of an allotment – something I never ever thought I would say!!!

My running coach inspired me just over a year ago as she had been on a list for a plot and one came up for her. Over the last year she has learnt so much and also grown so much (quite literally) - she talks about it all with such passion and enthusiasm.  One of my closest and oldest friends also grows her own vegetables which always look incredible. 

As a result I put my name on the list and a small plot has come up.  I know absolutely nothing about gardening or allotments but I want to learn. I also thought it would be a great venture for us a family to look after a small patch of land together, cultivate it and grow fruit, vegetables and flowers. 

At this stage I don’t even know how to really dig properly 😂 but I will learn! My running coach has lent me a great book and we have already met people willing to help and pass on their knowledge. I am genuinely really excited about learning something completely brand new in life and am grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it.

Challenge yourself to say YES and try something completely new – you never know where it may take you! We are starting with potatoes, courgettes and green beans!!! 🥔🥒🫛
