Elements of a Good Ragged Ramble
A good Ragged Ramble happens when some friends:
-> Join up and connect. It's also about meeting and making new friends
-> Are active, perambulating wonderful sites: scampering up weedy hillsides; ascending a precipitous church tower - even taking a swim in some wild water!
-> Stop and take notice of the beauty around them, as well as taking time for themselves
-> Keep learning, with open minds and boundless wonder and curiosity
-> Give to each other - especially if it's a delicious slice of cake!
[See nef's 5 Ways to Well-being for further information about the evidence behind actions to develop emotional resilience and nurture wellbeing]
A good Ramble also involves a sprinkling of tweed and some playfulness. A good Ramble gives licence to wide-ranging conversation and speculation. It engages a range of senses and stretches the imagination. We are inspired to interact creatively with the places we visit. Rambling in a Ragged fashion enhances our sense of wellbeing and sets pettiness in perspective.
There is always laughter.
HUZZAH!

I love this!
ReplyDeleteI am an old head on young shoulders and love and want to embrace proper english eccentricity.
I am planning on opening a traditional, old fashioned Bakery this year in London (I live in Norwich at the moment) so I would be able to excel in point No. 5 of the raggered ramblers guide. I hope there are lots of taster waiting in the wings xx
Hello Kat,
ReplyDeleteA pleasure to have you here with us at The Ragged Ramblers! Fully baked ideas at the Half Moon bakery... hmm, I can smell those Fairy Cakes smiling golden in the oven as I write this...
English eccentricity is, in my opinion, about daring to be yourself - and, in my case, daring to play.
Huzzah!
