It is still possible to enjoy the great outdoors by looking for those Open Spaces where we can relax and discover hidden places for us to wonder along at our own space. To feel the wind in our face and experience the birds singing or to watch other wildlife going about their daily lives even here in the community of Chandlers Ford.

Walking is something that many of us already do when our time allows and thankfully it is still an area of life that is relatively low cost. Have you thought about the educational benefits it can bring to children and adults as they discover nature and is also a great way to build family bonds within relationships.

Why not include quiz's such as; who can find and name the most trees on the walk or spot the most wildlife. If you go to Hiltingbury recreation ground take not only a ball or frisbee but your lunch and enjoy a picnic. However, always keep an eye on young children to make sure that they are safe.

So get out there,away from the television and the washing up enjoy what God has provided for us.
