Nature lover, birdwatcher, gardener. Like reading, walking, exploring old buildings, a quiet life. Amateur at most things but love learning. Massive Columbo fan.

Here for the people who talk about the above. Peace to all.
Back in July, took a walk out to the end of Sand Point, just north of Weston-super-mare. Had the place to myself, which was a real treat. A beautiful wild spot, with so many wildflowers to enjoy.

Love this idea for a bench. This was at WWT Slimbridge, a favourite place to visit. Easily adaptable for a home garden.

There are sumptuous sunsets to enjoy at Cheddar Reservoir - this was back in September when water levels were unusually low.

In September, a drained Cheddar Reservoir turned into a mini wetlands, with all kinds of waders turning up to feed in the shallow waters. It was wonderful.

Had a fascinating time recently doing a tour of the Chained Library in Wells Cathedral. I hadn't known what a chained library was - books were chained to the shelves to prevent theft. (And this was in the days when only selected clergy had access 😐.) Very knowledgeable tour guides, recommended.

If I'm suitably organised and walk speedily, I can do this walk at lunchtime (I work from home). I love the sound of the little brook as it races along, so beautiful and soothing. If I'm lucky I might spy a grey wagtail.

Sheer tranquillity at RSPB Ham Wall on the Somerset levels. A wonderful place to sit and watch and recharge. If you look closely you can see Glastonbury Tor in the distance.

This pheasant has been a regular visitor to my garden in the last couple of weeks, very handsome bird.

A small but delightful murmuration at RSPB Ham Wall on Monday evening. Starlings continued to arrive and roost for a good half-hour after the first batch settled.
