Bec in monton - views from my garden bench

Hi I'm Bec
I'm a writer, photographer and creator at www.viewsfrommygardenbench.com
I’m a gardener, an outdoor enthusiast, a crafter cottonopolis women's institute member and a bit of a geek.  I'm a 50something living in my adopted home of Manchester. 
I have osteo-arthritis so I live with daily pain and fatigue.  I use yoga, mindfulness, and crafting help my wellbeing.  Maintaining good mental is key - and I want to help others discover what self-care works for them. 
I’m a member of Cottonopolis WI in Ancoats, Manchester. 
I've curated some books on mental health and wellbeing, gardening and crafting for your enjoyment 

You can find me on social media @becinmonton - get in touch :-)
