Today we were swallowed up by a sperm whale! Inside its stomach we heard the story of the life cycle of a sea turtle and saved it from plastic - magical ✨️

Day 30 of #30DaysWild and we befriended a little spider. The bairn lifted it from his paddling pool and handed it to me. I took it to some rocks and it crawled away.

Day 9 of #30DaysWild - every morning as we're leaving we take some time to look at the roses. The colours change from orange buds, to bright yellow petals, then pale yellow as they are dying. I think I need to do some pruning! 🥀
