Komorebi (scattered light through trees) 🤩

A very familiar spot - from childhood day trips to teenage bicycle tours, and many visits as adults. OH’s cousin ran the High Force Hotel for a while. 🙂

I haven’t seen any forked lightning - just loads of flashes through the clouds.

A rather dull damp day but the Knapweed is making it’s presence felt 🙂 This is the road verge beyond our hedge which I have, ahem, commandeered 👀 Or perhaps I can say, reclaimed for insects.

Yes - that will make a big difference. I take note of what’s growing locally too. Knapweed does well for instance - just starting to flower now.

There’s no stopping it - pops up all over the place now. Maybe it just likes our soil. Fairly sandy and poor quality. We always had a ‘weedy’ lawn, and never treated it with anything. Buttercups and hawkbit thrive so it’s a very yellow themed meadow.

Not as much work as you might think. First year I mowed ultra short in the autumn and raked so you could see some bare soil. Scattered the seed and bingo - it reappears every year and I collect seed to put elsewhere. All I do is mow it short in autumn and early spring 🤷🏻♀️

I was planning to eat cake at Acorn Bank Nat Trust today for a birthday treat but discovered the cafe was closed on Thursdays 🙄 Called in at local garden centre tearoom and had delicious lemon squidgy cake. Nice coffee too. And bought a bargain garden bench! Win win 😀

Lovely!! I read that as Cake Abbey. Not that I’m obsessed or anything 👀😛

I’m sure there are more buttercuppery fields round here this year. Whether it’s by accident or design I don’t know but they’re lovely.

Truly amazing isn’t it. We feel privileged and I’m sure you do too 🙂

😃 We have House Martin nests either side of our front door - and not very high up because it’s a bungalow. They give out a few alarm calls when they see us but otherwise just get on with raising their families. Love having them - though I do have to put sand under to catch all the poop 🙄

Yes you have to be a little circumspect - it has a habit of telling you there’s a rare wader nearby when it’s actually a thrush 🤦🏻♀️ However - it’s a great tool and I use it most times I go out - often for confirmation but it throws up some nice surprises now and then 👍🏻
