Song 3 Nomad
Ok this one isn't about anything in particular. The riff popped in my head one day when messing about with a guitar and the lyrics just flowed. Its kinda a classic country cowboy loner lyric feel.

Track 2 Evergreen.
A song about the strength in a relationship, that no matter what the world throws at you, with the right person at your side, everything is survivable.

Song one Never.I realise that these songs ain't perfect but it's a learning process and for good or bad here they are... Anyway, I've been unfortunate enough to work some awful jobs for some awful bosses. This is kinda inspired by that. #thisdarkroad #afragileheart

A disturbing new Danish TV series, which follows a wealthy family as rising seas force the evacuation of Denmark, is wildly popular in its home country. We should all be watching it, says Bethan Ackerley
Climate drama Families Like Ours deserves to be a word-of-mouth hit

We had the privilege of releasing 3 rescued 🦔 🦔🦔
Spring Roll (male), Frosty & Cuthbert (females) all have sad wee back stories, but the folk at Hessilhead nursed all back to great weight & shape.
Hopefully they will settle safely into the local surrounds

What better way to finish off a great afternoon’s #beekeeping, than with a bit of #forage (in the apiary) & then blitz up a #ramson (wild garlic) pesto / marinade & sip a bottle of refreshing #Perry

I find #mentoring very rewarding, but nipping to the #apiary yourself of an evening, for a quick job is a treat. Listening to all the sounds, smelling the glorious wild garlic & talking to the locals 🐑

The darker side of Easter. Places holding petting zoos with Rabbits . Pet shops & on line breeders selling rabbits to anyone to make a profit (they don’t make great pets for children). Most end up neglected, handed in to rescue centres or even abandoned outdoors. #notjustforeaster #adoptdontshop

"Bonobos [one of our closest relatives] refuse to participate when faced with unequal rewards."
The vast majority of people similarly want fairness between us, but almost always end up with leaders who don't.
That mismatch is the single biggest barrier to a better world.

Occasionally quidding is essential to one’s sanity
Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

We’ve got great results from @jemimasgarden.bsky.social seeds
To make your lawn more wildlife friendly, sow some wildlflower seeds into any bare patches of soil, (make some with a rake if neccessary 🙂) 🐝🦋
Suitable short plants that will survive mowing on a high cut include White Clover, Selfheal, Bird's Foot Trefoil and Yarrow 🌱
