Thank you to everyone who joined in the discovery walk on Saturday morning. We took our inspiration from the beautiful Ainsdale dunes and from the wealth of fascinating information provided by Andrew Hampson, Gems in the Dunes Project Officer. He led us to the best places for us to see the dunes’ inhabitants, including great crested newts, and revealed secrets such as what was underneath the polypody fern!
It rained a little but that only added another dimension to this unique landscape, with raindrops rolling on the web of the labyrinth spider and spotting the surface of the ponds. Pausing in some special places to write, there was plenty of lively discussion and laughter, and contemplative moments too.
When writing together, I always encourage people to write for themselves first and foremost so the words can come freely. Sometimes it feels good to share what you’ve written, and sometimes just hearing your own voice through your writing is enough. Writing can feel freeing and satisfying, and as one of the group said on Saturday - it’s fun!
