This is far from the sharpest of images, but we were glad to see a lively scurry of Red Squirrels in Blairadam Forest recently 🏴
This one had stopped for a moment’s rest and a nutty nibble 🐿️ 🌰

In Nature Within, I’ve tried my hardest to break important health concepts down into manageable chunks.
I’ve tried to make it as accessible as possible.

I’m going to go with this being some sort of Curtain Crust 🍄🟫 🏴
What I’m not so sure about is whether it’s:
- Golden CC 🥇
OR
- Hairy CC 💇♀️
OR
- Yellowing CC 💛
Then there’s the alternative False Turkey-tail which could also apply 🤯 🦃

Here are four outstanding books I’ve read this year ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Each one tackles how we shape our natural world. And how, in turn, it shapes us.
Each one does it in its own unique way.
I highly recommend them all.
