Tell your friends that you love them...

This blog post goes out to Charlie Mallard, the lady who inspired me to start this blog.

I hope you appreciate my puns...

I'm stickin' with you...

(It's not a stick, but my chalks are too chunky to write on twigs)

Hope it's not too log (sorry) before you feel better again x

 ...and that you begin to see things...

...in a better light...

Sefton Park, Liverpool: Best Seat in the House!

So, summer has finally arrived!

And the park near my home is looking completely amazing...

x 100,000 (plus a million)

Best seat in the house!

I could sit in this park all day.

(Sitting On) The Manchester Ship Canal (with some chalk)

It was sunny in Salford. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I made the most of it by using my lunch break to wander around the Manchester Ship Canal, aided with a piece of chalk...

There's something calming about water...

And when you've spent the last 20 minutes weeping with laughter after watching Kermit the frog singing 'Once in a Lifetime', you know it's time to go outside to calm yourself down...

Come on, though...

It is funny, innit...

'Group Therapy' and a little bit of chalk...

Today, I visited a new exhibition in Fact, Liverpool, which looks into the relationship between technology, society and mental health...

It was brilliant. 

There was a desk covered in chalk, in an unlit room, inviting people to write out or draw, whatever is on their mind.

I haven't chalked in so long!

And I haven't been to such a cool exhibition in a while either...

If you're in the area, you should check it out.

For info that will explain it way better than I ever could (I've already typed out 3 different versions of what I think happened), head here: 

'Group Therapy: Mental Distress in a Digital Age'
