There’s an Egyptian in here somewhere
Working backwards, I went for a longer walk in the woods at my local farm this morning. Last week, I’d not been able to explore very far due to a barrier across the path but I noticed the rope had … Continue reading
So, this is what they think!
Back in January, Garden Organic offered me a £5 discount, which paid for the postage on anti-cabbage white butterfly netting I’d been coveting. I would have bought it anyway because it would be such a shame for the Nine-Star Broccoli … Continue reading

Recently, there was a tweet from the Wildlife Trusts about feeding birds at this time of year. Just as it is the hunger gap for us, so it is for them. I asked what I could do for blackbirds and … Continue reading
