Beautiful scenery, incredible animals, fresh air, and a place where people can connect, learn, and simply be themselves. ❤️

When we take a moment to look around, we're reminded just how lucky we are to do what we do every day.

Watching children grow in confidence, welcoming people to our wellbeing sessions, caring for our wonderful animals, and sharing this special space with our community makes it all worthwhile.

We absolutely love what we do, and we're so grateful to everyone who has been part of the Random's Retreat journey so far. 💚

Some days, you just have to stop, take it all in, and appreciate how special it really is.

It's that time of year again when our fascinating flying visitors like this one! 😱 are slowly leaving us to hibernate. This one landed straight on our hand!

Have you spotted any creepy crawlies or interesting insects in your garden recently? We'd love to see what you've found! 🦋🐞

Now, we might be a little biased... but we think there's a lot of truth in this! 😊

There is something truly special about spending time with animals. They don't judge, they don't rush you, and they have a wonderful way of helping you slow down and focus on the present moment.

Whether it's a quiet cuddle with a guinea pig, a chat with one of the chickens, or spending time with our horses, animals have an amazing ability to lift our spirits and bring a sense of calm to even the busiest days.

So if you're having a tough day, perhaps the answer is simple... Spend some time with an animal.

We'd love to know, which of our animals would be your choice for a little four-legged therapy?

They have all this land, but they chose to balance on the side of a trailer?! 🤣 Make it make sense!

When AQA send the whole summer cohorts certificates in 1 envelope 😊❤️

Our kids have been amazing, over 100 certificates between 18 children over 7 weeks of holidays clubs

Role on term time when we can learn more and keep those certificates coming in.

Now I have a programme file and session plans set up it will be much easier to work new members through the foundation courses when they join us 😊

Taking care of our wellbeing looks different for everyone.

For some, it's spending time in nature. For others, it's being around animals. It might be exercising, reading a book, meeting friends, practising mindfulness, or simply taking a moment to slow down.

We'd love to hear what helps you look after your wellbeing.
