Eric Idle of Monty Python fame has a positive attitude to therapy after embracing it in the USA where he has lived for over 20 years. He says:
"In England, therapy is considered some kind of moral weakness, but actually it's the most sensible thing you can do. You learn about being a human being, and why you feel like this. Someone explained it to me as being like a manual that teaches you how the engine runs."

What music uplifts you? Do you have a favourite 'go-to' song or piece of music which lifts your mood?

I'm always uplifted by a walk surrounded by ancient trees and wild flowers - now that the season is changing, I'm nostalgic about my favourite walks at my favourite time of year when the bluebells are in full bloom. This is a picture I took when I was on a lovely walk in May in Devon.
When is your favourite time of year?
