Did u know?Nesting season is underway.There's plenty of moss for the broody birds on my patch,but I always like to supplement their choice of soft material with organic packing wool.It's benign 'cos it's been cleaned at source. I cut it up into tiny chunks, so it doesn't entangle the chicks.πΏπ±π¬π§π±ππ¦ββ¬

She's small and not particularly mighty, but she's one of very few in Manchester, as you probably can imagine

Did u know?A wildlife pond is one of the best additions to a garden.This is a quick vid on what to include.Other considerations:Position away from full sun,as it'll encourage algae.Away from deciduous trees,or you'll get leaf drop which'll clog the pond up. Depth-60cm to attract dragonflies.π±πΏπ¬π§π±ππͺ²πΈπ¦

I've been told it's weird to love the smell of Tansy flowers.
Here's a Common Nettle-tap, tiny little day-flying things which I probably only saw because I had my nose in the flowers π

I made it to the Loch. It took me around 50 mins at a medium pace and now I'm reaping the rewards. The Sun is warm and its so peaceful and safe for a lone female. Currently sitting watching 6 cormorants basking in the Sun, wings out.

Did u know? Plants proliferate in different ways - they set seed,or create runners from the adult that pop up as new plants.This is a runner from Tansy. I love these yellow button-shaped wildflowers,'cos they're great for short tongued pollinators, but also give me 100's of plants for free. πΏπ±π¬π§π±πππͺ°πͺ²

A white teddy bear, wearing a blue bow tie, waves at the camera.
Left to right a small plush panda, wearing a bow tie, sits next to a small white teddy bear, wearing a red bow tie. At the end is a larger white teddy bear wearing a blue bow tie. They are sat on a white tiled ledge, behind them is a garden and trees.
Two small, black plush moles, with pink noses and paws, wearing blue bobble hats, pose on a cold Tynemouth beach.
*Waves paws at new followers & old ones from Twitter*
Expect intermittent posts from me and Prentice bear as we bimble through life. There might be unexpected pesky moles,
Pandaβs & puns.

Brown clee
My oldest memory of walking the hills of Shropshire is as a small child on Brown Clee, and I always like to visit when I can. This is the view along the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort, with Abdon Burf - the highest point in #Shropshire - on the right.

A group of Virginia Stock flowers.
These are very simple little flowers with four petals. They're in various shades from nearly white to deep purple and all the pinks in between.
Each flower has a green centre and some of the petals are heavily veined.
They look really good on the edges of borders where they can overflow onto paths or sprinkle the seeds between paving slabs.
Seeds available from our online store, and are also available in a larger size.

Virginia Stock - totally faff-free flowers!
sprinkle the seeds onto a bit of bare soil and give it a quick "rummage", water gently, wait for the flowers to appear, followed soon after by Bees, Hoverflies and Butterflies ππ¦
Good sown into concrete/paving cracks too π
