I garden. I read books. I like country walks, wildlife and wildflowers. I wish I lived nearer to the sea.

#30DaysWild Strained off first lot of Comfrey fertilizer (very smelly), picked some more for next batch.
36 year old nappy bucket perfect for the job.
Left plenty of flowers for the bees.

I've always loved to be beside the sea, and, inspired by @hullsaddler , I've dug out the earliest pictures of me at the beach. Age 2 1/2.

Our local waterway. Don't even know if it has a name, it's just "the brook".

#30DaysWild Walk down the fields. Hundreds of Peacock caterpillars all over the nettles.
Also spotted lots of Meadow Browns, Small Tortoiseshell, Skippers and a Chimney Sweep Moth.

#30DaysWild In the garden this afternoon. A visit from a Small Copper, incoming Hoverfly, Fungi in the Eucalyptus, and a slightly gruesome discovery of a skeleton.

#30DaysWild Rain stopped. Quick walk round village for a breath of fresh air. Spotted adult Blackbird feeding or teaching young one how to manage what looked like a cherry. Terrible video, didn't want to get too close.

Everyone banged on about doing “No Mow May” but nobody mentioned the following month would be “can’t bloody mow anyway because it won’t stop sodding raining for three seconds June”
