January is Walk Your Dog Month 🐾

A fur-iendly reminder to maintain your dogs routine walkies throughout winter, not only for your companions health and wellbeing, but yours too!

A brisk 30-minute walk 5 days a week (or around 22-mins 7 days a week) ensures you're meeting the minimum NHS recommended exercise goal of 150 minutes a week, and helps fight the winter blues by improving brain function, especially helpful if you spend your days starting at screens!

Walkies also provide your professional sniffer with mental enrichment, ensuring they are happy and healthy 🐕

The government has announced that regulated rail fares in England, including season tickets and peak/off-peak returns between major cities, will stay the same for 2026, marking a historic freeze.

What could this means for you:

Commuters across England will avoid fare increases and could save hundreds of pounds a year and over £300 on some busy routes.

It’s part of a broader plan to ease the cost of living, curb inflation, and build a renewed publicly managed rail system under Great British Railways.
