Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression - or as she calls it, "the grey slug" - for 25 years.

Each walk lifted her mood, proving to be as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical. In Emma's diary, she takes us with her as she follows the paths and trails around her cottage and further afield, sharing her nature finds and tracking the lives of local flora and fauna.
