At Walking Pace

My take on the way that At Walking Pace will be taking small steps into 2022. Expect videos of mini-inspirations and more podcasts! Happy New Year

The At Walking Pace video/podcast! Walking helps us deal with dark days by evoking fond memories.  This time a stroll down memory lane with my good and characterful friend Philip, who recounts how he loved visiting Swindon Town gardens decades ago. Hear how he made friends with a blackbird called Stubbly and made X-mas decorations out of pine cones and holly...50 years before it was fashionable!

Nyla and buddy David head into the unknown as they venture into Brum at Xmas time. What a change to years gone by! The lights are bright and the chat is warm as they head into the BullRing past barriers and new building. An intro to At Walking Pace with Walking and Lo-Fi Living, along with being your own person. Discover the secret to a happier life alongside more Brummie banter.

Having interviewed Barnaby (the pastor of the local Kingsway Church) about the nativity trail around the park, myself and friend Lyndon made a not-very-good attempt to do the trail. On the way to a 'trail fail' (our attempt, not the trail, which was lovely) we watched dog-training, talked about the old Gardeners World TV garden and discussed the principles of 'At Walking Pace' namely walking, Lo-Fi Living and lightening up on life.  Camera angles a bit dodgy!

Enjoy life...At Walking Pace. The full video is available on the At Walking Pace YouTube Channel!!

Walking back from The DIY store  through Kings Heath Park meant I encountered the nativity trail and chatted to Barnaby- the pastor from Kingsway Church about the trail and the forthcoming outdoor carol service!

In this podcast recorded before lockdown myself and David chat about how things are a little bit pretentious in Kings Heath but applaud the new Lo-Fi activities of making things out of pallets and other crafts (despite the chalk paint).

This episode of At Walking Pace is a brief snapshot of my journey into a love of walking. I want to inspire others into integrating making excuses to walk into their everyday life! Join me...At Walking Pace.

The podcast is a showcase for topics that may be useful to you if you want to be happier, healthier and especially less stressed. There are three core areas of discussion: walking, living at a human pace in terms of living simply and using our human skills rather than letting technology do it all for us and lastly thinking about how our behaviour and wellbeing is affected by what goes on around us.

At Walking Pace talks to Helen (AA Abbott) about her brilliant new book 'Bright Lies', a novel set in Birmingham that confronts the uncomfortable issue of child sexual exploitation. Although the subject matter is dark, the plot includes lighter moments, one of which is delivered to us in a reading by Helen.

Helen reveals the part that walking plays in her own creative process, as well as in the book. We talk about the supportive writing community in Birmingham including 'New Street Authors' and the fantastic Gunmakers' Arms in the Jewellery Quarter of Brum.  If you like thrillers or Brummie accents you'll love this episode.
