🌿 Something a little different from Shepherd’s Rest… 🌿

There is very little information out there around andropause and the impact it can have on relationships.

We hear so much about menopause and the changes women experience, but what about when the man we love start to change too?

Changes in mood, energy, motivation, confidence, sleep, intimacy, communication… and sometimes just a feeling that something is not quite the same anymore.
And as women, we can find ourselves wondering…

Is it me?
Why has he changed?
Why does he seem so distant?
How do I support him?
And what about me? Where do my needs fit into all of this?

These are not easy conversations to have, and sometimes it can feel incredibly lonely when you are living it behind closed doors.

This is why Leanne from Maze Counselling Services and I have decided to create a small, supportive space for women to explore exactly this.

It is NOT about blaming men.
It is not about excusing difficult behaviour either.
And it certainly is not about telling anyone what they should do with their relationship.

It is about understanding, sharing, listening and finding a way forward.

We have now put our first supportuve session out there and I am really excited (and a little nervous!) to see where this takes us.

If you are reading this and thinking “Oh my goodness… this sounds like me”, please do not feel you have to explain everything.

Just reach out.

You might be surprised how many other women are quietly thinking exactly the same thing.

Yesterday I managed to sneak a couple of hours in of winter prep......filling up the fabulous new log store and painting the 'wee shed'!

My goal is to continue my work until I am at least 70 years old, so hoping that the Shepherds Hut will last another 15 years!

Happy days!

Friday evening at Shepherds Rest and a beautiful review from Ellyse which I found in google reviews.

Ellyse has been coming for a good few years! Thank you so much, it means a lot. 🙏😘

'This place, this space, made such by the magical Tash, is like no other anywhere else.
Tash is incredible at what she does - be it her oh so restorative massages or her wise words - but it’s more than that.
You book in for a massage as a stranger and suddenly have this haven of tranquility just a message away. Maybe it’s the setting; the chickens wandering around and the horse in the field - making you feel a million miles away from your daily life, the roads that led you there and even from 2026. Or maybe (most likely) it’s Tash’s unique way of holding space for you, making it feel like time stops and you can just breathe and recalibrate. Honestly you won’t regret making your first booking. And it won’t be your last'

I have one slot available next week on Tuesday 1st September at 1pm. Please pm to book in. 💆‍♀️

Yesterday was my day with little one, and we have got ourselves into a lovely little morning routine.

We either walk to the park or go and have a look at the cows in the field. Then, of course, we pop into the Co-op for a couple of pastries for our mid-morning snack! Yum!

Where we live at home, we can go for a walk and barely see another person. But when we are out and about here, there are always lots of people walking their dogs or on their way to work and school.

And the little one and I say morning to everyone!

Some people stop for a little chat, some just smile and carry on walking… but what I have noticed is how lovely it makes me feel.

It is only a little thing, someone saying hello, a smile, a couple of minutes chatting about the weather or the dogs.

But it warms me somehow. ❤️

I notice myself still smiling afterwards, feel a glow in my heart and thinking how nice that little interaction was.

I think we forget just how much we need those little moments of connection with other people. Nothing deep. Nothing planned. Just acknowledging each other as we go about our day.

A smile. A hello. A “morning”.

Such small things… but they can make you feel connected, grounded and happy. 🙃

And that is something worth noticing. ❤️🌿

Have a lovely day.

What a busy 4 days off! I shall be glad to get back to work!!

Belle's winter field shelter is no longer Wonky and we have a new wood store exclusively for Shepherds Rest!

We did sneak a lovely walk along the canal and lunch at The Black Lion oh and a couple of couch to 5k runs!

All in all a very satisfying break!

I am emotional, so so moved to recieve this today from an incredible human who I first met a couple of months ago here at SR HQ.

She is one of the most inspirational people that I have had the joy to meet and spend time with. How lucky am I!

Thank you Elle from the bottom of my heart! 🙏❤️

So if you have hung out with me at Shepherd's Rest and have a minute to leave me a new one, I would be so very grateful!
