Nature blogger, bat carer and (very) amateur photographer. I love to notice the details in the natural world around me.
On my ride yesterday, I stopped to say hello to a cat in Thorncombe St. and got chatting to her lovely owner, who kindly told me about a real gem that I’d unknowingly ridden near to but missed (had…
Wintershall again, this time at Gate Street Farm, which I discovered yesterday has rare bred livestock, a newly launched farm shop, and something even more exciting… post to follow on that. F…
