Honiton Carers Support Group enjoyed a virtual guided tour around the Glen on Wednesday afternoon (14 April).

Sally Radcliffe from Devon Carers kindly arranged for Emma Capper from Creative Journeys in Nature to visit local beauty spot, the Glen, as respite for full-time carers.

Chair of Honiton Carers, Winnie Cameron said: "After a short introduction by Emma, who was sitting by a beautiful old tree, we had a 10 minute session of mindfulness and relaxation.

"Whilst holding a camera, Emma commenced a slow walk around the Glen which showed it from a whole new perspective. We discovered areas and vistas not normally seen by people who stick to walking on the paths.

"We had a trip along the stream bed which was unusually dry, where we were able to see all the different trees and vegetation. There were some lovely Camellia bushes in bloom along the way.

"The birds were all singing their hearts out and the sound of the stream running alongside was very relaxing.

"All in all it was a really good experience much enjoyed by all, especially by those who had never visited the Glen and for those who hadn't been there for a while."

Honiton Carers wished to thank Devon Carers and Creative Journeys in Nature for a 'wonderful boost' to their day.
