This morning’s walk took me to the nature reserve for a quiet wander. It is funny how cameras can sometimes trick you because the photos make it look quite bright, but in reality it was much more overcast

I set off for an early morning walk today, looking forward to a bit of time outdoors and a change of scenery. As I got out of the car, I stopped to admire the view across the hills. A blanket of mist had

There's definitely a spooky feeling in the air in my village now that Halloween is here! The nights are drawing in, the leaves are falling and everywhere you look there are signs of Halloween. Walking

Welcome to another weekly walk into the woods for #fungifriday, hosted by @ewkaw. I really enjoy finding interesting fungi when I'm out walking, but coming up with fresh stories each week is difficult.

I went for a walk round Foolow Park today, which sits right next to a local cemetery. I love a foggy morning, so I was hoping for some mist, but sadly it had disappeared by the time I actually started

After a miserable few days of heavy rain, I jumped at the chance of a dry morning to head out into the woods, shake off the cobwebs, and see what kind of mess the weather had made for this week's

Looking back through photos from an old trip to Scotland, I came across these photos taken by the water. They were taken along Loch Awe in Argyll. My friend's black labrador spent the whole time exploring

It was pouring it down with rain. Most people stay indoors when it rains. I don't mind the rain, and I didn't fancy stopping in, so I decided to get wrapped up and had a walk down to the local golf course.

I like living somewhere with four proper seasons, mostly because it gives me something different to look forward to all year round. I really enjoy the variety. Give me bright sunshine, as long as it is

My neighbours and I have been spending a bit of time working on our shared garden over the past few weeks to make the space look much better for everyone living there. The plot had become quite overgrown

Friday rolls around again, which means it is time for another instalment of @fungifriday initiated by @ewkaw. If you are anything like me, you are already heading out for your usual walk. Foraging for

My morning walk began along a narrow path, with trees crowding in on either side and branches hanging low overhead. Rain had left the ground wet, and fallen leaves lay scattered across the path, sticking

I had a bit of time to spare this morning before meeting a friend for coffee, so on the way, I stopped off at the local country park for a short walk. It was nice to stretch my legs and get a bit of fresh

The weather has changed quite a bit this week. It never stops me from going out for a walk, though, even when the weather turns cool and damp. Slipping on my walking boots and taking a local track gives

Autumn is great for getting your boots proper muddy and seeing what the woods are up to. I go walking most days, and honestly, you do not need a grand plan or a map. You just look to see what is there

We popped down to our local café to check out its brand new look after the recent refurbishment. The place has always been cosy and still has that lovely feel, with warm lighting, dark wooden tables and

Ashover is a pretty village if you want a nice peaceful walk. The countryside surrounding the village stretches out for miles, and apart from the distant sound of gunshots, everything was quiet. It was

Happy Fungi Friday, everyone! Today's outing started even before I reached the forest, proving that sometimes a find is pure chance. I actually spotted a large bolete while driving past a grass verge.

Today I decided to head out for a walk at a local nature reserve. The weather was pleasant enough, with patches of blue sky and white clouds overhead. ​I followed a narrow gravel path that wound its way

Early this morning I went out chasing mist. I could see low clouds hanging over the hills from a distance, so I decided to head straight for one particular wood that always looks good when the morning
