Many of us say we “don’t have time” for veg, pulses and whole grains. Convenience food marketing reinforces this, and habits set in. We could hit 30g fibre daily with more home-cooked whole foods. Sainsbury’s labels help, but real food habits are best.

Our kidding tours are full swing! 10.30am and 12.30pm every day until Sunday. Book here: erringtoncheese.co.uk/events

The Welsh lizards that live in our garden wall love a bit of coal and slate because it soaks up the sunshine and gives them warmth. Here’s a pregnant female from last summer and I know lots of you will say “ oh don’t anthropomorphise” but she’s smiling as far as I’m concerned 😉

What an incredible thing to see outside your window!

Yarrow will grow in your shittiest soil, survive your driest summer, and feed more pollinators than most plants you actually tried to grow. Yarrow blooms from late spring through fall, making it one of the longest pollinator windows of any garden plant. Miner bees, mason bees, bumblebees, leafcutter bees, sweat bees, checkered beetles, and butterflies all use it. It builds soil as it grows, tolerates drought, and spreads gradually without being aggressive. It comes back every year without replanting, expensive fertilizer, or much water once it's established. One note worth knowing: many yarrow plants sold at big box garden centers are European ecotypes or colorful cultivars, not true North American natives. For maximum wildlife value, look for Achillea millefolium from a native plant nursery in your region. Plant it in a sunny spot with decent drainage. Come back in summer and count how many things are using it.

The Swiss Valais Blacknose have been rubbing themselves against the red feeder while eating and it managed to dye their wool pink.

Sitting by a stream in the dappled light. I’ll take this memory home with me and I’ll sip it later, slowly.

A magical moment: I took some garden waste to our green bin, looked up and saw this Peacock on apple blossom. It stayed long enough for me to snap a picture.

Spaghetti and Meatballs all made in ONE pan. The meatballs are juicy with a light crust, and the spaghetti absorbs so much flavour whilst it cooks in the tomato ragu. kitchensanctuary.com/one-pan… #Foodie #onepan #familydinnerideas
