The great Outdoors
The Great Outdoors is an exciting, expressive magazine created by me, Mia Perrett. I created this Article about my experience of outdoor life in the New Forest National park and how this has positively impacted mine and others mental health across the local area. I also reflect on are fluffy four legged friends and reflect on how they really are mans/woman's best friend.
Behind the scenes
A little history on the New Forest
The New Forest is a wide open area that stretches across Hampshire and Dorset. It is full of beautiful sights and nature such as the New Forest ponies . It is believed the New Forest has been inhabited since the bronze age and was named the New Forest in the year 1079.

Starting with Kiki who is kind and crazy Westie who is always sure to be at your side then we have Sooty who is a strange and funny cat. Charlie who is always sure to stay out the way and Lilly who enjoys being affectionate.
