As someone who never used to be outdoorsy, it is surreal to me that I’m now the type of person who would prefer to be  exploring the countryside than anywhere else. I’m very much a homebody too, and love pottering indoors, baking, reading and watching movies. But all of this I appreciate more having spent a chunk of my time in nature. Of course, this all started when Polly, our Golden Retriever came into our life.
