Day 1

I wake up at 6:30am after having a dream about John Travolta asking me to water his plants. I make a coffee and do some painting to relax while waking up slowly – I do this daily as I like to have time to relax and start the day calmly.

At 10am I head out for a long walk across the coast with plenty of water and snacks in my bag to eat and drink along the way. I get back at about 5pm, feeling tired but great!
