In follow up to my picture of the loofah early this summer this is the final product, just the one but something I have grown to use myself, very light and feels great to finally have grown one. @TheMontyDon @GWandShows

It’s the third year for me trying to grow my own Loofah in the North East of England. This year started in January using heated propagator to give them as much time as possible. Pleased to say I have a least one that should ripen. @TheMontyDon @GWandShows

As I have said before sometimes you just have to take the time to stay and listen, which is what Islay and me did on the walk today. #StayHomeSaveLives #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay

Today we were back by the River Levan most of the animal’s enjoying the cooler day. One photo has ducklings 🐥 another has the River turning yellow with catkins being washed down. #StayHomeSaveLives #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay

The walk today was through the woods and by the River Leven we even crossed it twice using the fords, then too the Bluebells and Wild Garlic looking fabulous. #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay

Earth 🌍 Day. Today take a pause, breath and listen to the natural world and then get ready to protect it. I am thankful to have a choice of walks where Islay can be off the lead@today by the R Levan #EarthDay #StayHomeSaveLives #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay

I filmed this the other day on our walk. ‘Sometime you just need to stand and listen’ (when you play have the volume up). These Skylarks were less than I mile from my home. #StayHomeSaveLives #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay

Different walk today. After negotiating the roadside walk, did not enjoy the traffic levels,next to the A19 not the most pleasant bit but well worth it when we got in the woodland seeing fabulous Spring sites. #StayHomeStaySafe #MentalhealthduringCovid19 #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay
