A little photo from my little wander with the woofers this afternoon. This little chap was busy flitting from one bush to another. I have no idea what type is, nor whether it is a moth or a flutterby…. whoops butterfly 🙂 but it got me thinking about what it would be like to beContinue reading “May 21st – Small things”

May 15th – Night-time guests
We closed our B&B over 18 months ago but we still get guests that haven’t pre-booked turn up. This little chap tried to check in, but the 4 legged children said “NO!!” After that it was a little camera shy These little critters are in decline, and we don’t get to see them often. IfContinue reading “May 15th – Night-time guests”
May 12th – Where are the strings?
I got another slap for this comment when my eagle eyed wife said “look at the Red kites”. Not my best photo, as they were very high, but nice to see anyway. After being almost wiped out in the UK, a re-introduction programme was launched. In 1989, six Swedish birds were released at a siteContinue reading “May 12th – Where are the strings?”
May 11th – Price of property
Two deer …. Sorry – Couldn’t resist the dad joke…. Today’s photo was taken whilst walking the hounds from hell, who thankfully didn’t see them. It is so nice to be out and about in the countryside, looking for wildlife like these guys. Obviously, you don’t see wildlife on every trip, especially when you haveContinue reading “May 11th – Price of property”
May 10th – Building without planning permission!
We have been having a coffee in the morning out the front, and have noticed a very industrious builder incredibly close to the house…… OK – There’s a pair of pigeons constantly in and out of our hedge, and I am not sure about building a nest? The amount of work and material they takeContinue reading “May 10th – Building without planning permission!”
April 27th – Bath-time….
This little chap seems to like our new stream. He (or she), had quite a few dips this morning. We love looking at the wildlife in the garden, and the birds seem quite comfortable even with us walking around, but this is probably due to them getting huge amounts of food constantly.
April 20th – What so you see?
Today’s photo, captured on my phone, could quite possibly be the worst photo I have ever taken. You can’t really see what it is…… Which actually is the point of today’s post. Confused? Thought so …. Let me explain…. Whilst on my walk with the 4 legged children today, I ‘safely’ saw/passed a few folkContinue reading “April 20th – What so you see?”
April 19th – Wildlife
We had an uninvited guest in our back garden. This little chap decided he wanted some of the nuts we put out for the birds. He was quite chilled hanging upside down for an eternity. It’s a good job our 4 legged children were inside, but whenever we see squirrels we immediately think of ourContinue reading “April 19th – Wildlife”
April 18th – Anxiety
Today’s post is inspired by the dog walk and photo below. We went through some woods filled with wild garlic, just coming out in white flowers. So what does this have to do with anxiety I hear you ask? Well, there is a technique called the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise. There are a few variations ofContinue reading “April 18th – Anxiety”
April 11th – Blossom
Today’s photo hasn’t got any deep meaningful message behind it. I just think it’s a nice picture, which happens to be directly across from the front of our house. The Blossom is blooming stunning (sorry – couldn’t resist that), and I wanted to take a quick snap as winds are forecast in the coming daysContinue reading “April 11th – Blossom”
