WHAT TO WATCH

Miss You Already (2015)

Miss You Already, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, is a feel-good weepy (an impressive combination) revolving around lifelong best friends Milly (Toni Collette) and Jess (Drew Barrymore), whose relationship is put to the test by Milly’s diagnosis with late stage breast cancer. The film is frank – it refuses to shy away from elements of living with cancer that Hollywood often avoids. We are shown Milly’s post mastectomy scars, close-ups of chemotherapy treatment, and in one particularly memorable scene we see her shopping for wigs, contemplating the loss of her hair. Despite these painful themes, it’s also joyful, silly and heartwarming. Morwenna Banks’ celebration of female friendship, based on a true story, will stay with you long after it’s ended. Make sure you have tissues at the ready, though.

WHERE TO GO

Your local forest...

Forest Bathing is a Japanese tradition (known in Japan as shinrin yoku), which improves your mental wellbeing by relaxing whilst by surrounded trees. It involves going deep within a forest and focusing on your surroundings, tuning out the rest of the world and being in the moment. To make the most of forest bathing its recommended to switch off all devices, take deep breaths, and pause to reflect on the sounds, sights and smells around you.

You can find your nearest woodland on the forestry England website. Whilst you’re there check out the free digital booklet on forests for wellness for more information.

Before you rush to get your forest fix be sure you check the weather forecast or else your forest bathing could be a wash out!
