I’d just like to acknowledge HOW important meeting in real life is. It feels like a drug I’ve forgotten to take for a while and it’s making me better. Meeting in real life with wonderful, kind, friendly, trying to make a better world people! Thank you #KendalMountainFestival & #UKCharityCamp

Oh hey gang! This place is already feeling so positive compared to ‘other’ places. Promise it won’t all be my dog on here, there will be more informative things about national parks, climate change, glamping, books and supporting local! Maybe a few rants about billionaires thrown in too!?
