"It's alright for you to have adventures," I often hear, "but it's not possible for me. I'm a mum; I've got responsibilities and a job."

The answer, as always, is that it was simple but not easy, and it came down to the choice of deciding to making it happen and the realisation that we are all capable of far more than we often imagine. 👍👍👍 #yorkshire #blog #goniceplacesdogoodthings #neverstopexploring
