There were four competing hairy-footed flower bees in the front garden this morning, and at least as many in the wild garden. I’ve been keeping an eye on the wallflowers growing out of the front wall for a few days … Continued

I did my favourite kind of gardening this morning: standing around with a mug of tea in one hand and a camera in the other, issuing instructions while R did all the actual work. Once he’d removed all the bramble … Continued

I did gardening in the rain this afternoon. Double eeeurgh. We have at least two resident robins, but this is the bolder one – it barely waits for us to get out of the way before checking any freshly turned … Continued

A very busy day: A trip to Stratford this morning for blood tests (sigh). Back at home, an hour’s gardening (eeurgh) with R. Some bug photography (yay!). A quick late-afternoon visit to the owl field (brrrrr). Choir practice in Pershore … Continued
