Each day, I trot into the garden to sort Herbie hog and his hutch out. A few days ago, to my abject horror, I found his hutch empty! Last time this happened he’d dug himself out, and after a frantic search, was found sleeping in a hedgehog house in one of my borders. Since then …
This last week has passed by in a bit of a blurr… We had our open day at the rescue and made a princely sum despite the fact it poured down. I was face-painting but had a secret weapon this time….. my mother-in-law hand knitted these FABULOUS hedgehogs and they sold out within the hour, …

Now winter may be cold, wet, windy and grim…..but it can be pretty too! It also has it’s cosy moments. These long dark evenings get you thinking don’t they? For some bizarre reason I found myself ruminating on whether or not I could still run tonight, no idea why! When I actually thought about it …

Well…..it would seem that Curly cat has decided to lose her freedom and become a house cat. The other night, I heard a mewling outside the kitchen door, and was astonished to see Curly cat sitting there, bold as brass giving Sam the eye! This is a rather unnerving development, as Curly usually sticks to …
It’s that wonderful time of the year, when, rain or sunshine we get out and about and enjoy long walks and cycle rides. I always like to capture the sunset of the longest day of the year…….and this year it was a beauty! If the sun shines, we’re all outdoors enjoying the BBQ, and we’ve …
Oh what a glorious time we’ve had! Over the last seven days we’ve had a mini heatwave and the plants, animals and people are simply loving it. My fruit bushes are romping away, as is the Rhubarb…….which then, amazingly, turns into this. Courtesy of my wonderful neighbour Barbara, not at all bad eh? The fruit trees …
Well……my week at the Lake District FLEW by, and now that I’m home, I need another holiday just to get over this one, the type of holiday where you just put your feet up…. I was amazed to see new born lambs everywhere. I mean it is May after all. In fact we actually witnessed …
