I think everyone has their own happy place, and mine's out in the countryside. I love to be out in the greenery and the flowers, it just makes me feel calm and clears my head.

Living so close to the Peak District definitely has it's benefits, like a late evening peaks drive to watch the sunset, but there's so many other places around Sheffield that are great to visit for a day out.

The last few days me and my boyfriend Jack have really loved travelling to Sherwood Forest for some nice walks, and to take some photographs.

I think the best bit about going out for walks in nature is that it really calms my anxiety for a while, like taking a hayfever tablet but the wrong way round.
It just helps me to take my mind off of any worries for a while and forget it all. I think being visually worlds away from my normal life just helps me distance things and take a step back, it helps me to put things into perspective.
