Inspired by landscape you’ll find me exploring my local countryside. I love traditional orchards, my garden and allotment. Keen fan of outdoors for health too!

No Mow May has resulted in 15 beautiful common spotted orchids on our lawn. Along loads of Oxeye daisies and loads of buzzing insects. Loving it.

Our new interpretation board sited in Lugg's Mill Orchard, at the start of our new walking trail. Full of information about what we've done, our plans for the future and a bit of history too.

Wow. The big very old Newbridge Pear tree has lost a huge limb. Glad we have some more Newbridge coming next year to provide the next generation of this rare variety.
