Over lockdown, my priorities changed a bit. I realised the benefit of not exhausting myself in the name of work. I craved adventure, and peace of mind over having stuff. That said, I was just pondering on what I wouldn’t want to do without.
My favourite presents over the last two years have been my rescue dog, and the hanging egg chair that I’m currently in, with him on my knee. Both bring me joy.
My favourite purchase was a full face snorkel. I have loved swimming in lakes and rivers over the last couple of years, especially when we were only allowed one lot of exercise a day. I’d walk to a secluded spot on the river and swim around looking at the fish. As we were able to venture further, I’ve taken it everywhere I’ve been camping.
I’m no longer really interested in buying stuff that’s not practical, but these are three things I wouldn’t want to be without now.
