Week beginning 11 November

Hello,
I had a busy time last week as I was away in Manchester at an amazing day of Pilates training, a concert in Manchester on Tuesday and a talk to a local WI on Wednesday plus our usual classes. I really enjoyed everything (apart from the cancelled trains!).  It is easy as winter comes on to have a dip in energy and mood. The following is a great article about keeping well in winter. Getting outdoors and socialising is very important to maintain that lifted energy and mood as we do with Nordic Walking.
