A different kind of night for my sporty athletes — and what great fun we had! 🌿✨

Tonight we were joined by the lovely Davi, a herbalist, who taught us how to make sleep balm, dream pillows, and soothing bath salts. The room smelt incredible and it was so interesting exploring all the different ingredients.

Hope everyone sleeps well tonight and……….. Shhhhh 🤫 I think some of these creations might end up as Christmas presents… 🎁😉

Monday, a very special lady/friend lost her fight with cancer, and she has been in my thoughts a lot this week.

One of her final acts of kindness was a donation to Barnability. I’m grateful I was able to visit her in her last few weeks to thank her personally. She had watched me work hard over the past year to build the charity, and knowing she believed in what I was doing has given me even more motivation to keep helping people.

I’ll always remember running the wheelbarrow race with Hilary a few years ago—an old New Year’s Day tradition in our village. She loved sport, and she was genuinely talented and fast. It was a privilege to share that moment with her.

I feel lucky to have known her.

We’ll be raising a drink to her this Saturday—one of the kindest and most sincere ladies you could ever meet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ STAR OF THE WEEK ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Time to meet DWJ 👇

Just wow. D had never stepped foot in a gym before, but it became clear almost instantly that he loves the feeling of moving with purpose and strength. In just a few short months, his progress has been incredible.

⭐️ He had never ridden a bike
⭐️ The video shows his very first time on the rower
⭐️ He’s learnt to shoot hoops — today, two bounces before the shot!
⭐️ He can tap the lights, slam the balls, and perform lying kickbacks

Watching him pick up new skills so quickly — and show up eager to learn more every single session — has been nothing short of amazing. Proud is an understatement 👏🔥

It’s been a while since these two teamed up for a workout! They’re the kind of friends who push, support, and hype each other up. Amazing to see gym friendships grow and last. 💥

🌙 Another nighttime walk through the dark park! 🌙
With our torches and headlights guiding the way, Eagle-Eyed James made an amazing discovery on his first walk — a tiny baby snail 🐌 and, as Google confirmed… a bug! 🐛

Lots of laughs, fresh air, and great company.
Well done, everyone! 💛

Time to shout about our : Courage Award 🦁
Sponsored by St Michaels Test Centre

The Courage Award honours someone who has faced challenges with bravery, resilience, and an unwavering positive attitude. Courage comes in all shapes and forms — and sometimes it’s not always easy to see just how brave someone truly is. This award reminds us that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the strength to keep moving forward. Their determination and heart inspire us all.

✨ Find out on 29th November who will receive this award!

“Barn dog Bear had a full day at the gym!

After giving out all the therapy and snuggles, he surprised us all by hopping in on the workout—literally. BOX JUMPS. 😂🐶💪

This dog is unstoppable!”
