Yesterdayâs rain somehow encouraged this monster GCN to find its way into the house, a good 150mm head to tail

This is deeply disturbing for anyone living in a rural area surrounded by intensive arable farmland. We are effectively all taking part in a large scale chemical exposure experiment

Learnt something new and quite fascinating today, these lines of holes in the bark of small-leaved lime are made by woodpeckers to get at the sap. There were hundreds extending right up the stem

I do love the fact that it is necessary to pick out the weeds from organic spinach. Maybe the label should advise âmay contain weedsââŠ.

The winter highlight in this part of Suffolk are the huge flocks of Redwings and Fieldfares that are drawn to the local orchards. These more traditional orchards are financially borderline and at high risk of being grubbed up. Buying local could still save these wonderful places if people choose to
