A cool tea towel is helping Pumpkin in this heat #cats #hotcats

I'm the gardener for my local dentist (also a patient there)... and I am trying to create the next garden for pollinators that I can. It's looking great at the moment and is alive with insects

Waitress, May 2026 #climatecrisis

One of the reasons I grow Verbascum/Mullein on my allotment

A couple of snaps from the garden this afternoon

The view back to the house from the bench by our pond.... lovely and shady down here and it's a comfortable temperature despite the heatwave

The beautiful sky in the garden at 9.10pm. I love it

I helped a friend on his stand at Chelsea Flower Show last week... he was awarded his 5th Gold in his 5th Show. His Delphiniums were perfect again

My allotment pond is very popular with the local newts

Allotment beauty today.... including my greenhouse bed planted up with tomatoes and a row of basil 😍

Lunchtime view in the garden .... lovely

My view lying in the shade in the garden right now

In Vinnytsia, Ukraine, a female stork was widowed when her mate died. She is incubating her eggs & unable to feed herself; local residents have started feeding her: #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

Such a lovely place to try to hit a ball into a hole #chilternforest

Flowering today in the garden....

Some scenes from our local hospital gardens in Amersham, developed and looked after by volunteers, with the support of the hospital, for the benefit, well-being and enjoyment of patients, their friends and family and, of course, the hospital staff.

What a beautiful place for a wedding. I love Spring

Turkey tail fungi are beautiful to look at

I love spotting Larch roses - such a Spring treat

Always love trying to get a photos of slime moulds - and these ones came out nicely (Metatrichia floriformis I believe)

Sooooooo perfect

Every Spring these two come out to play together... I love the combo #garden #gardening

Some views of my favourite trees in Regent's Park #trees #photography #london #hornbeam

Now.. very slowly for those at the back… Who wins when states go to war and when politicians promote fossil fuels over renewables and push to scrap Net Zero? Because it isn’t us. Our bills don’t go down. Our planet doesn’t get prioritised. Our futures don’t get safer. (Sky News)

Allotment loveliness today

Our favourite pub in London. Can you guess why?

Spring greens in the garden

Such a lovely time of year in our garden

Looking for slime moulds on Hampstead Heath

Amersham is looking very colourful and Spring like

The Moussaka I made last night was really rather delicious. It was from Meditera by Ben Tish

The Viburnum x burkwoodi is filling the garden with the loveliest fragrance from its shady position. Magical

It's #caturday and here's Pumpkin in a new box

First day of the cricket season yesterday, at Lords. And we even got a full day's play!!!

From the BBCNews page Artemis rocket update this morning... "No-one will land on the Moon during this mission, the Orion capsule will just circle it - here's how long that will take" I would really say there is no place for the word "just" in that sentence.

Pubbing in Farringdon

Potato planting on the allotment today, plus sowing pea, lettuce, beetroot, radish and chard seeds... whilst enjoying the sight of the Fritillaria imperialis and broad beans seedlings. And then harvesting some purple-sprouting broccoli for tea. Isn't that all so lovely?

Just look at the beautiful wood anemones and celandines

@rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social 's beans with greens and sausages tonight with hog roast sausages and Bold Beans Borlotti Beans. Very very delicious

Good number of butterflies around my allotment today. Brimstone, Tortoiseshell and Comma. Lovely

The frogs have started their spawning in our pond.... always so lovely to see. The official start of Spring here 🤣

Napoli is amazing to visit

Napoli is totally wonderful

It's starting.... finally, a dry warm sunny day

I was intending to go for a for but after opening a drawer and turning my back.... Pumpkin decided the drawer with my running stuff in was the place to relax this morning

Wandering round London waiting for my passport to be ready

The growing season is starting again..... joy

Wow... this is devotion to research. To be upside down in the mud .... down to your knees!@@

I visited Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve at the weekend - and this is my favourite photo from the day 🙂
