Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
We were on the road for several hours today, heading north for a holiday! Along the sides of the motorway, on the verges, splashes of wild flowers brightened the journey, nature flourishing where humans fear to tread. We stopped at Hardwick Park, a National Trust property with an old and new hall, both pretty old! …
Yes, you read that title correctly! Tonight I discovered something incredible in the garden: ants farming aphids. It was a chance discovery, while deadheading the oxeye daisies. Running up and down many of the plant stems were ants and on closer inspection, under the flowers, on the top section of each of these stems, were …
In the cool of the evening I wandered down to the Copse. A boardwalk runs through the trees, protecting this SSSI Ancient Woodland fragment from trampling feet, keeping a clear path through. Along the path hazel coppice drop their bows, oaks tower overhead, the light filtered through a myriad of greens onto the verdant forest …
The longest day of the year, and the hottest June day in my lifetime, the hottest June day since 1976! With the temperature reaching 34 degrees centigrade, if definitely felt hot! Perfect weather for a relaxing evening in the garden and time to try the Elderflower champagne I made earlier in the month. In the early evening …
I've spent the last couple of evenings dissecting an owl pellet that we found on a country walk, beneath an old oak tree. This may have not been the most sensible thing to do in this heat, as the smell of damp dog from the soaked pellet was quite strong as I was pulling it …
It's so hot! I'm swapping between loving the sunshine and feeling completely exhausted by it. In this weather I don't want to do much after work so I spent most of the evening in the garden. Once I started to focus there was so much to see. I have a little macro lens for my …

It’s was so hot today, and after spending most of the day in the sunshine at an outdoor event, promoting food waste recycling to local residents, I was glad to fit some wild time in at the end of the day. As the sun began to set we headed for our local badger sett. We’re …
A simple random act of wildness today, sowing seeds for bees. Charity Buglife say that over 97% of all flower rich grasslands have been lost in England since the 1930s, an area the size of Wales. This has reduced pollen and nectar sources and lead to a serious decline in the wildlife depending on …
It’s halfway through the #30dayswild challenge. This year I’m focusing on spending time outside, enjoying the natural world and immersing myself in nature, in my own garden and beyond in what I’m sharing on social media and in my blog, but there are lots of everyday actions that we can all do to help nature, …
