My name is Tom Smallwood and here you will find my posts and those of guests, on the positive effects of time spent outdoors.

1 Day Wild - Wild Brainstorming [video]

June 1, 2017

Hello. Quick introduction here; my name is Tom, and this is Emma.

We are in the Lake District for a couple of nights on a 30 Days Wild brainstorming session. Today we have been rowing on Lake Grasmere, watching the Canada geese grazing in the valley and yesterday, whilst having a mini "wild" swim in the lake we were joined by a mallard and her ducklings which you can see in the video below (thank you to mummy for that shot).

We have been discussing some options for our Wild Alphabet. In truth today is more "brainstalling" than brainstorming because we recognise that the alphabet only has 26 letters so we won’t fill the whole month.

Anyway, we have been thinking about what constitutes "wild"? And in these dramatic and beautiful surroundings here is a flavour of some of the ideas Emma has came up with.

A is for Ant
B is for Birds
C is for Camping
D is for Dragons...

Right, the alphabet begins in earnest tomorrow and remember it won't be in alphabetical order so please don't write to Points of View asking for your money back if Y comes before U.

Now don't forget to check back tomorrow evening - we hope to post around 8pm GMT, depending on what we have done, whether its a school night and quite how tired Daddy is!

As always let us know what you think in the comments below, on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
