A laminated sign on the railings beside a railway station. The sign is titled “writing for wellbeing” and goes on to read, “take a moment to look out over the railing. Observe the colours and shapes you see in nature. Inhale. What can you smell? Listen to the sounds around you. Can you hear a train coming? Are birds chirruping? Become aware of the air on your skin. Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. Allow yourself to slow down and notice the world around you. Feeling creative? Finish these sentence stems, created by Dr Roshni Beeharry, to write your own poem. The colour of nature is… The smell of nature is… The texture of nature is… The taste of nature is… The weight of nature is… This is what nature means to me… Share your work! Tag BBC Berkshire and Creative Lives CL on X. Creative Lives and BBC Berkshire would like to thank the participants who authored these works for providing permission to showcase their writing.

Kings Cross station with its artsy ceiling and lots of screens showing arrivals an departures on different platforms. At the left of the picture, below the walkway, is Platform 9¾ where a Harry Potter fan is posing for his picture. Most passengers are in a hurry to catch their train home; those dallying are engrossed in their mobile phones.
