Shhhh….

by JDO | posted in: Bees, Invertebrates, Worcestershire | 0

Someone is sleeping…. After another long morning of errands and wedding craziness, I went out for a head-clearing walk around the village. I was disappointed that my neighbours’ pond still had no Odonata, and the butterfly field no butterflies (nor … Continued

Anemone

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants | 0

It’s a mark of my age, or the way my brain’s wired up, or maybe just my current level of permanent near-hysteria, that I can’t say the word “anemone” without doing a kind of Monty Python Gumby sketch thing with … Continued

Grass

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

Trial

by JDO | posted in: People, Pets, Sport, Worcestershire | 0
