This new year we’re leaning into a simple yet powerful theme: listening to your body.

Edition seven of Field Notes shares some of the finds & feels that are supporting our team as we build our own habits for 2025.

1) Prioritising rest and nourishment – from better sleep to wholesome meals, it’s all about feeling good from the inside out. book Eat Better Forever is a goodie.

2) Movement and hydration – gentle movement and steady hydration set the stage for better sleep and brighter days... we all know this but we also need reminding.

3) Jotting it down – A few minutes of journaling can bring clarity, calm, and connection to your day. We’re currently enjoying stationary by UK brand .

4) Finding joy in the daily, simple things – slowing down, reconnecting, and savouring the little pleasures that make life richer. .monocle book The Monocle Book Of Gentle Living is a favourite with our stylist - Sara.

Wow how is it the 1st November already? A time to embrace the season of wholesome food, crisp Autumn walks and fireside chats. In Novembers edition of Field Notes, the Floks team share some of their current cosy favourites.

November settles in, quiet and slow,
nights folding thick with dusk.

Wrapped in wool, we layer warmth,
blankets tucked close, candles lit.

Outside, the world softens, still,
as the last leaves drift and rest.

In this gentle hush, we nestle deep,
holding close to the heart of the season.

The Grandfathers of Floks -
Like me, my Grandpa Jack loved wool. In the 60’s he could be found at agricultural shows judging fleeces. Working in the Yorkshire textile trade, he was a huge advocate of the wool industry and I sometimes wonder what he would have made of my Floks dream becoming a reality. We hope he’s looking down and feeling proud of his legacy today.

Hello June. As Summer is officially here in the UK and we slowly pack away our winter coats and woolies (🙏 for sun), the sheep shearing season is also kicking off. This ancient tradition significantly benefits the sheeps welfare, and brings in a weighty supply of wonderful wool to our UK supply chain. The shearing season spans across the Summer months, depending on farm locations and breed but needs to occur at least once a year.

🌿 This week is all about Mental Health Awareness, so we’re diving into the conversation on how movement, exercise, and crucial rest impact our mindset. 💪 We’ve all experienced the magic of a refreshing walk outdoors leading to a restful night’s sleep. 🌙 With summer nights ahead, maintaining healthy sleep habits becomes even more crucial. We’re hooked on the Matthew Walker Sleep Podcast for amazing insights and tips on how to address your own sleep needs (Link in stories - we’re a bit obsessed!) Let’s step outside, move our bodies, and prioritise our wellbeing.
