Boris announced the roadmap out of lockdown for England last night and although we must still be careful it feels as though brighter days will be here sooner than we think.

I wanted to share a few ways to help you thrive and flourish over the next month and support you in having a positive mindset.

Listen out for the birds singing slightly longer each evening
Look out for the rainbows in the sky

Open the windows of your home and let the fresh air in
Visit a pond and look out for frogspawn
Create a nook indoors with all
