And so ends the last full week of this year’s ’30 Days Wild’! It’s been so nice to take part in this challenge again and, I have to say, it’s also very reassuring to know that my wild challenge won’t come to an end on July 1st! I’m gonna keep on goin’! Let’s get straightContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 24”

356 Days Wild: Week 23
I’m a little late with this round-up but last week was just as wild as ever! The sunshine was lovely while it lasted and, despite the rain, I enjoyed a mini-urban-wild-adventure in the ‘Big Smoke’ towards the end of the week. A few highlights from Week 23:🐦 Reading up on rare UK birds🌸 Enjoying someContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 23”
356 Days Wild: Week 22
Well, it’s been a scorcher here in the UK for the past week. Makes a change! 😎 It was also the second week of ’30 Days Wild’. I took part in this challenge for the very first time last year and it inspired my own ‘wild year’ this year. Some of my highlights are differentContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 22”
356 Days Wild: Week 21
A bit of a tricky one this week, as all I’ve wanted to do is go outside for long walks in the sunshine which just isn’t possible at the moment! That said, it was the start of ’30 Days Wild’ this week and I have quite a few wild highlights, which I’m very grateful for,Continue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 21”
356 Days Wild: Week 20
Week 20 woooooooooooooooop!!!! A whole 140 days of wildness already!!! That’s all I can congratulate myself on this week. Without sounding too sorry for myself, I made a bit of a silly mistake that has tested me. After walking for miles and miles during weeks 18 and 19, I found myself restricted to the houseContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 20”
A Yorkshire Dales Adventure (weeks 18 & 19 of my wild challenge!)
I’d intended to stick to my usual routine of my wildlife challenge posts. As Week 18 came to a close and I nestled down in a small cottage in the Yorkshire Dales to write down my acts of wildness, I realised it would be quite a difficult task to do this with no mobile receptionContinue reading “A Yorkshire Dales Adventure (weeks 18 & 19 of my wild challenge!)”
356 Days Wild: Week 17
Though the weather has been a tad un-spring-like this week, the breaks between the showers have been an absolute treat. And we had a bank holiday this week – what more could a gal ask for?! My wild highlights include:🐦 Adding some more birds to the 2021 list🌷 Identifying spring plants and flowers🎨 A newContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 17”
356 Days Wild: Week 7
I can’t quite believe we’re at the end of February now, but the milder weather and lighter mornings/evenings have really brought some positivity to what’s been a bit of a challenging week. And, as a bonus, my wild adventure brought me daffodils, catkins, jogs in the rain and lambs and calves. A lovely way toContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 7”
A hopeful sign of spring
I’ve been enjoying updating everyone about my ‘wild’ undertakings over the past few weeks but I realise it’s been a while since I’ve done a bigger post. So say hello to a piece I really enjoyed creating last week: A hopeful sign of spring. I know we’re still, to some extent, in the throes ofContinue reading “A hopeful sign of spring”
#30DaysWild Week 1
I mentioned in a previous post that I was hoping to keep up with the Wildlife Trust’s 30 Days Wild project throughout June. At the end of Week 1, this is what I’ve been up to… Monday 1st June – It was another sunny day and I spent the evening in the garden after work.Continue reading “#30DaysWild Week 1”
