Our lodge has the most fantastic outlook which is entirely made up of the surrounding pine forest. It is quiet, beautiful, magical. In the mornings, I like to sit with my cup of tea and just listen to the soft sounds of the surrounding woodland. I can feel myself relaxing minute by minute.

I always want to relish autumn but… Continue reading 6 Weeks
