Week 189, Day 1319.
Our holiday is slowly coming to a close and I am enjoying every last minute of it. I have taken the last few days off to trek waterfalls, hike wainwrights, go kayaking, and spend time at the pub. It has been perfect. Below are a couple of photos from the last few days.
One of the few things I appreciate about doing the actual climb up the mountain is the fact that you need to be physically capable to make it up to the top and it gives me hope that the sheer amount of wine I drink and chocolate I eat haven’t set me back too much. :’)

Work is going to be absolutely hectic next week and I am also a little behind with my literature review progress. But, whatever, even final year PhD students are allowed a little time off.
I leave you with a short encounter I had with a local who I asked whether living in the Lake District permanently makes one less appreciative of how beautiful it is here. And he said, “for some, yes, for me, no, but I believe that you have to look, to really look at what’s in front of you, and all too often people forget to do that”. I decided to follow his advice, and for the first time noticed that a wall I have walked by many times is actually beaming with life (see photo at the end of the post). 🌿 Take time to look, and really notice where you are, what is in your space, and who you share it with. You never know how it might change your life and your perspective of it. Until next week!

Among the mountains. ☾
Climbing mountains...
Ya know, G-d moved Job from the valley to the mountain peak. You can’t wait around on people to do the mountain climbing for you. You have to climb that mountain yourself. Once you’ve followed Christ to the top of that mountain, it has been moved, my friend. By you. Yeshua and you. Because, you see, it is He who gives you power through your faith as big as a mustard seed. It is He who gives you the ability to do things you never believed.
Out of the office, into the outdoors.
