Remember my little miracle bird that flew headfirst into a speeding car a few weeks ago? Well, I’m DELIGHTED to announce that it’s now been released. It spent a few weeks in an aviary where it flew perfectly so now it’s back in the big wide world…..whoever would have thought it eh? AMAZING! And Missy, …

Now I’m back from the Lake District, I’ve simply had to book another holiday there, so I’ll be going again next spring. I really must try and wean myself away from the place and maybe go to Scotland or Ireland….but I’m addicted to the natural beauty there. It has it all for me, mountains, rivers, …
Over the weekend, a colleague from the rescue and daughter and I were at Martin Mere, a Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust which is one of the world’s largest and most respected wetland conservation organisations, that is working globally to safeguard and improve wetlands for wildlife and people. This time I was giving wildlife talks and …

For the next month, Liverpool is allowing the public free entry into Heritage Trust buildings across the city that are generally closed to the public, so I jumped at the chance of visiting St Luke’s, the old bombed out church. The Church of England church sits on a hill dominating the landscape, right next to …
It’s been a rather odd week for one reason and another and without realising it I think I’ve been feeling a little run down and tired.

Well…..it would seem that Curly cat has decided to lose her freedom and become a house cat.

This is a rather unnerving development, as Curly usually sticks to …
Well….just look at what came in the post for me…..many thanks Sam, that’s my veggies taken care of for next year! And these ten palms I ordered arrived the same day. I think the hot weather has gone to my head and I now think I’m living in a tropical country. Still….they can survive -6 …
My juicy strawberries I’m finding it hard to believe that I’m in Britain, as the last six weeks have seen what I can only describe as tropical weather. We now have blazing sunshine mixed with torrential downpours with dramatic thunder storms thrown in. The heady scent of flowers and the rhythmic sound of rain are …
It’s been a really busy old week, with all sorts going on. I’ve finally had to accept the fact that the whole house is urgently in need of redecorating and so I finally got stuck in to the worse room in the house, the kitchen. After a crazy few days of dogs getting tangled in …
Duckling chicks…..we have had lot’s of these this year. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been able to sense the presence of injured animals. Sometimes I’ve been flashing past on a bike and “spotted” a wounded hedgehog, cat or bird. But I know that I haven’t actually physically seen them. Hubs always asks …
