Christmas Day

26/12/2020

Christmas Day was day 208 of 365 Days Wild. The sky wasn’t all that interesting when I looked out to the eastern horizon in the morning, but when I turned and gazed out to the west, the sky was a beautiful pink. The back to front nature of this Christmas dawn seemed to perfectly encapsulate … More Christmas Day

Midwinter Wander

23/12/2020

On day 205 of 365 Days Wild I ventured out in the morning for a wander around the lanes to the meadow and little woodland. It was far too beautiful to stay inside.

A Midwinter Feast

Generally, most articles I’ve seen about house plants just talk about the many benefits of having them, so I decided to spend … More Bedroom Plants

Felted Holly

01/12/2020

On day 183 of 365 Days Wild I spent some time working on a felt tree decoration inspired by the holly that is growing in great abundance around the nature project. I’ve also planned a few other creations… but you’ll have to wait to see them. Happy December, everyone!
