Walking Watch
There is a meditative rhythm in walking, especially walking alone. That steady placing one foot in front of the other, of progress and process. There is the mad and hectic pace of walking the dog, the dog for whom every well trodden walk is a new adventure and then the walk filled with the fun of shared conversations, of unburdening and then there is the walk of slow observation and wonder, like being a child discovering the natural world for the first time. Join us on some of our walks of discovery and contact us via social media with your own inspirational walking experiences and we will share them. Use the tag #honeybeebarn @honeybeebookbox
