Forest Schooling

Kids had some fun time in our woods, whitling and making a den. The day was great with glorious sunshine. We had some study time outdoors. There is an orchard in Chorton woods, which is so great during summer. Differnt fruits start coming up, early raspberries in June, red currants, then as months progress. Later on apples and other fruits. But it is an excellent place to go for rides as well through different trails.

Reddish Vale

We thought we would go and explore Reddish Vale waterfall in Stockport yesterday. Tried to locate the Reddish Vale secret waterfall named Harrison’s Weir. It is a pleasant short leisurely walk if you are around the area and the sun is out.Also the waterfall is so beautiful and you can have some rest in there, getting little cool air cutting through the flowing water and I felt like the air from the cooler. kids can enjoy playing in water, throwing stones,skimming,dipping and kind of relaxing time watching the water fall in the woods. It was great for a forest walk whenever you are bored or in need of forest bathing, please do join along. The waterfall is located not far from the Trans Pennine Trail opposite the Tesco Extra Superstore on Tiviot Way in Stockport. You take the path to the very left after you leave the free car parking area, you should see a narrow path.

In British woodlands on Divine Mercy Sunday

Such a lovely warm weather yesterday. Also Divine Mercy Sunday. Just thought to go for strolls and have some water fun in one of the brooks in Manchester. We were out near Manchester Airport viewing area, lot of people enjoying flights taking off and landing. Beautiful eye catching experience. Following that, we moved near to water.

By looking at water and around the nature with its dazzling beauty and quietness, I felt like thanking God for these beauties in the nature. Children enjoyed diving toes in the beginning as water was so cold. Slowly embraced it , enjoyed skimming, splashing water, throwing sand and me enjoyed clicking those beauties around. Even climbed some peaks, especially my hubby gets crazy seeing slopes and hills, 

You may well have heard of the Japanese practice of Shinrin–yoku, or forest bathing, that has recently taken the UK but did you know that it’s now even prescribed by doctors? Studies have shown that time among trees can lower blood pressure and cortisol levels and help with depression. The chemical compounds that trees release to protect themselves, called phytoncides, have even been found to have positive effects on the human immune system. Many of the same benefits can be gained through a simple woodland walk or exercising in nature. Green spaces play a pivotal role in physical and mental health, which I recommend many of my friends to follow.

Also it was the Feast of Divine Mercy and recited chaplet in woods when it was 3pm.Coming home, kidoos went out to get some slush, red and blue rays layered indicating blood and water pouring out from the heart of Jesus on this very special day. It is a day to prepare and get reconcilation, pray for mercy upon the whole world. Some of the past feast days celebrated.

On Sunday it Was Manchester Marathon too, more than 36,000 people took part in the journey from Old Trafford towards the new finish line on Oxford Road. Also Annu joined along with her friends to report the news as part of her journalism assignment So we can be reminded of the tagline of the feast day- JESUS I TRUST IN YOU. .

2025 Easter - Alleluia-Christ is Risen

It was a blessed Easter. Vigil service was an amazing time, our family could play a big part.I thank God for using us in different ways.Time with family and friends for this Easter. As a family, we went out to meet some in our neighbourhood. Many of our friends gathered at home. After Easter egg hunt and little ones went for Alleluia word hunt in our garden.Time to have fun and the day was a glorious day with sun shining gently. Easter joy was there around the nature too. Also we went for a stroll in our water park. Ended the day late after lot of fun, laughter, food and fellowship.The day closed with Regina Caeli prayer for the Easter season. I am reminded of the Holy father's quote on Easter day from past- We are Easter people, people of Hope and joy. Some of the Easter symbols tried to do like making Paschal Candle with four cloves reminding nails pierced and the year 2025. Also lambs,bunnies which are signs of new life, through the resurrection of Jesus. Simply you will see all these signs around Easter time if you look around. I am really fond of Easter life,spring buds, new lambs plodding around in the farm lands if you move around through English countryside. As Psalmist says; Death has no stings over Christ? Christ has overcome death and each one of us, dead to sin through Christ which is not restricted to Christian or person of any faith, for each and every human being. Easter meal of ours was lamb roast, which symbolises- Christ the lamb of God atoned for our sins.

After Vigil mass, the aim was to break an Easter egg, some broke their fasting after 90 days of magnify and small fastings.Easter eggs are the fun bit after coming home.
