Hi, I’m Angela Watson
I finally created Walking Round In Circles in 2024 as a personal project to share my love for coaching, golden retrievers, competitive dog sports, nature, and wonky cottages. It’s a creative project and another way for me to express myself.
I hope that the beauty of the images and words on this site become a resource for others to to feel less alone in the ups and downs on their journey through life. Walking Round In Circles is a place where readers can find stories, advice, and tips, on a broad variety of topics. Here, alongside my golden retrievers, Jasper and Berty, and memories of the late Harry and Lucy, I share my musings on how to create a life you love, plus personal stories, and the things that delight me everyday – including my passion for wonky cottages – there’s something enchanting about their quirky charm that speaks to my soul.
In addition to publishing content for Walking Round In Circles, I run a private coaching practice. In my coaching sessions we explore what it is to be ‘human’ in this crazy, turbulent world. Outside of coaching my heart belongs to my Golden Retrievers. Whether it’s training them to a high level in Obedience, helping others prepare their dogs for competition, or training animals on set, I draw on the experience I’ve gained learning with some of the UK’s best trainers over the last 13 years.
In a previous life, I worked as a nurse, where compassion and empathy were the cornerstone of my practice. Today I carry those values forward in everything I do. I also design a line of T-Shirts which you can shop at Mellow Dog Mumma.
I’m always exploring, experimenting, and exercising my creative muscle. My next project may be just around the corner. Whatever it is, I’ll be sure to share it with you.
