It’s been a busy summer so I’m a bit behind with my posts – I realised that I didn’t finish my #30DaysWild series. So, to continue, days 20 and 21 included seeing a red admiral butterfly drinking tree sap, getting up close to a spider, watching visiting goldfinches, and listening to an owl hooting in […]
30 Days Wild – days 14 to 19
I soon discovered that you often can’t plan moments of wildness each day, and even if you try to, something surprising generally happens.

May Day loopiness
Another day off for both of us, another Wheelers’ Walk. For the whole of April the weather has been dry, and so we were looking forward to a lovely sunny spring walk continuing our journey round the London Loop on Bank Holiday Monday, 1st May.
