With a very high pollen count again it is a day to stay indoors and prepare for my return to work tomorrow after my annual 4-month break. I plan to watch the French Open Men's tennis final and contemplate how I am going to connect with nature to continue my 30-Days Wild challenge. From where …

These are our hedgehogs in the garden last evening on Day 8 of the 30DaysWild challenge. The only downside to the long summer days is having to stay awake longer to see our hedgehogs and take photos.

Another week flashes by in a whirl and Day 7 of the 30 Day Wild challenge is almost over. Not wanting to aggravate my Hay Fever I went out in the car today (it has a pollen filter) and drove through the countryside in the lovely sunshine. Just outside the village, the cows were lying …

I grew up in the country and my favourite lessons at Primary School were the nature walks when we walked two-by-two around the village learning the names of the wild flowers with great names; Vetch, Old Man's Beard, Celandines, Deadly Nightshade, Cuckoo Pint and Rosebay Willow …

Day 3 already and there's so much going on in the garden. After a mad hour converting the area where the very large gooseberry bush used to be until last week I was relaxing in the cool shade of the apple tree when the goldfinches came to lunch. Like many others we have seen a …

30 Days Wild-Day 2

Earlier today I saw a big, black thundery-looking cloud approaching so I did a quick circuit of the garden to see if there were any creatures out and about before the inevitable downpour. Almost immediately I found these; When I first spotted (no pun intended) different patterned and multi-coloured ladybirds a couple of years ago …
