Amazing colours of the different flora amongst the rocks on the Nipstone yesterday #moss #shropshire

The verges of this lane are lined with drifts of #snowdrops for almost half a mile. They were planted by a farmer for his mother, who adored these beautiful flowers. #Spring

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

For #RoseWednesday taken at David Austin’s Plant Centre last summer

Happy #thicktrunktuesday from this sturdy oak!

Happy #Thicktrunktuesday to all!

Important new research out today concludes that English “water companies are adopting disinformation tactics similar to those used by the fossil fuel and tobacco industries with the widespread use of greenwashing to downplay the environmental harm they cause”. 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Happy St Dwynwen's Day/ Dydd Santes Dwynwen hapus! Today is the feast day of Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Her church on Ynys Llanddwyn is a legendary pilgrimage site, a haven for the 'lovesick' and steeped in folklore. Go forth and be romantic! #StDwynwensDay #Wales

Hope remains

Good morning and Happy #Thicktrunktuesday Horse chestnut trees were introduced to the UK from the Balkans in the late 16th century. Looking forward to the ‘candle flowers’ in Spring!

Late afternoon dog walk, looking northwest #Shropshire

Werewolves rejoice - the Wolf Moon is coming! 🌕 The first full moon of 2025 peaks on Monday, January 13. Folklore tells us that its name comes from the haunting howls of wolves heard on midwinter nights near villages. Awoooo! #fullmoon #folkloresunday

The power of folklore. Elves help protect Iceland’s nature.

Very cold, very beautiful #winter #shropshire

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Happy #thicktrunktuesday to yew all! Yew trees are associated with death but also immortality. They provide berries and shelter for a wide range of wildlife. There are many churchyards in England with yew trees older than the church buildings themselves.

Chilly but beautiful walk in the #snow yesterday. Now thawed! Hoping all who read this are warm, safe and well

THE REVENANT was released 9 years ago this week. Inspired by the true story of frontiersman Hugh Glass, and the film that finally brought its star Leonardo DiCaprio Oscars success, the story of how it was made is an epic adventure of its own... 1/47
