Thanks for your replies. It helped to acknowledge how I was feeling and I ended up trying both - I took a journal and went to a coffee shop and wrote for a while. Then I went for a walk through the local park.

JanAlvin - thanks for encouraging me to reach out and the suggestion to see somewhere different. I will try and ring a friend later and will have a think about where else I can go.

It was again a beautiful day today so it was nice to be out for a while.

Thanks again.
