How would I summarise January… I’d say it really is the hardest month of the year. Well, for me anyway. And that’s mainly due to the light I think. So little time to squeeze walks in before/after work. Especially when you’re busy. A year ago, it was a little different – going out for aContinue reading “Dry January”

2021: My Wild Year!
So my wild year has somehow come to a close. Done. Dusted. Finito. I can’t quite believe I made it! I’ve already shared one of the reasons why I endeavoured on my wild journey – I’d experienced the positive benefits of wildlife through 30 Days Wild and 12 Days Wild and wanted to set myselfContinue reading “2021: My Wild Year!”
356 Days Wild: Week 50 & 51
And so marks the end of my 356 days of wildness. Almost a full year – and it would’ve been, too, if I hadn’t thought up the idea a few days late! This post covers the last week and a half of my wild challenge, starting before Christmas and ending on New Years’ Eve. TheContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 50 & 51”
A Sprinkle of Art
Hello! As mentioned in my last ‘wild challenge’ weekly blog post, I’ve decided to put some art prints up for sale! I was a little scared to do this, but I’ve been so grateful for the feedback and purchases I’ve received so far. It’s genuinely meant a lot so thank you. As promised, I’ve sharedContinue reading “A Sprinkle of Art”
356 Days Wild: Week 42
I had a lot of fun squeezing some walks for the Big Wild Walk into Week 42 of my wild challenge! Another very busy week and another month gone – goodbye! Walks always bring a range of wild encounters and, this week, I got to explore two new places: Walsall and Liverpool! There were lotsContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 42”
October artwork: a brief round-up
Oh my goodness. I haven’t posted about my art properly for such a long time. For anyone following my weekly ‘acts of wildness’, you’ll know I’ve been busy doing bits and pieces. But I’ve found myself creating pieces thinking ‘I need to write about this’ and then completely not writing about this! So October seemedContinue reading “October artwork: a brief round-up”
356 Days Wild: Week 41
Week 41 felt much more autumnal to me and I am loving the colours! Not as much walking this week, but I’ll be getting my walking boots out for the ‘Big Wild Walk’ during Week 42! Fancy taking part too? Back to Week 41 for a sec – let’s take a look at a fewContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 41”
356 Days Wild: Week 39
Welcome to Week 39 of my wild challenge! By my calculation, because I’m working towards 356 days of wildness and not 365 (because I only decided part way through January I was going to do this – see my note at the bottom of the page…), I’ll get up to Week 50.8 by the endContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 39”
356 Days Wild: Week 38
And so comes October. Another seven ‘random acts of wildness’ ticked off. We’re well and truly catapulting towards shorter days. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have some wild highlights and, for Week 38, mine included: 🌹 Planting spring bulbs🐦 Watching some interesting gulls🌳 Recapping my new-found plant knowledge🍂 Walking through Wychwood Forest As always,Continue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 38”
356 Days Wild: Week 37
What a lovely ‘summer part 2’ we’ve been having! So many crisp, sunny days despite the days getting shorter. Towards the end of Week 37 of my wildlife challenge, I had the opportunity to experience a few ‘acts of wildness’ with my sister. Definitely the main highlight! And there were other highlights too, including:☀️ AContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 37”
