Light is our key source of wellbeing and Vitamin D and there is plenty of it at the moment! As the hot summer continues, shutters are closed and curtains drawn. It can feel like living in a tent. Any walking ensures all body salts are lost at least once and people are over heating. August has already happened in July and here we are with another month of intense sun and the need to slow down to maintain some sort of balance.

Ajhan Brahm says, “When the weather is hot, keep a cool mind. When the weather is cold, keep a warm heart”. Good advice to take as we pack a picnic for the beach with umbrella, mats, towels and sunscreen and a flask of cold, white wine with snacks. Late swims cool down the mind and there is a slight breeze today which is welcomed with open arms, literally.
