Our 'troopy gets four new tyres fitted and a wheel alignment on Friday. A weekend packing for our tour and cleaning the house ready to leave.
The FREE art supplies competition ends on Monday so i will be packing and posting the last of the prize winners gift, so get your addresses to me as soon as I notify the winners please. :-).   Have a great week everyone.

I just updated the listing of standard size postcards made from my artwork, that I have for sale, in my http://www.postcards-art.com Natures Postcards, blog and web site.

I have illustrated this post with some of the postcards that can be ordered from mypostcads-art web site and purchased, 'direct from artist', under our caravan awning studio.

I am working hard completing the jobs I need to have done before we set of on the next stage of our ecotherapy tour which will be early Autumn all things going to plan.

 

Ecotherapy is not a fad, nor a new marketing approach for the psychology profession, and not just more “green exercise,” although it does include fitness and wellness practices.  I try to do my exercises as much as posible in nature, bushwalking is our great love. Even when we relax at home, we love to have a window view, unbroken, looking out over nature. The tranquility this brings Rus is the eco-therapy I speak of.

Some examples of recent ecotherapy research findings:
- “Equine Therapy Helps Withdrawn Vets Reconnect”
- “71% Report Depression Decrease After Green Walk”
- “Immersion in Nature Makes Us Nicer”
- “How the City Hurts Your Brain...and What You Can Do About It”
- “Connection to Nature Vital to Our Mental and Physical Health, Scientists Say”
- “Drug Addiction: Environmental Conditions Play Major Role In Effective Treatment And Preventing Relapses, Animal Study Shows”
