I was only a five minute walk from my front door to the local community centre, yet stepping outside this morning felt like walking straight into winter. The air was crisp and cold. The frost from earlier

The housing market out there is tough, but down on the forest floor, business is booming. Welcome to another #fungifriday initiated by @ewkaw. Today, I've put on my imaginary estate agent hat, grabbed

Today I went for a chilly walk down by the park and the pond to feed the birdlife for my #wednesdaywalk initiated by @tattoodjay. The autumn leaves are everywhere. The village looks lovely at the moment

It was a chilly, foggy morning when I set out for a walk. A thick mist hung over the moors, keeping everything quiet and still. I headed down a muddy path toward the woods. The ground was slippy underfoot,

I decided to head down to the local country park this morning after a hearty breakfast at my favourite café. The sky was completely grey and the air felt cold on my face with a bit of mist in the air.

I spent this morning out in the woods, visiting a spot I have walked through many times before. Instead of sticking to my usual route, I decided to start from the top end this time. That simple change

After grocery shopping, I popped over the road to Mary's Yard Café today for a quick bite to eat and a drink with a friend of mine. It was very busy when we arrived, so we had to wait a short while to

This week I decided to put on my detective hat. As I walked through the woods, I noticed that almost every mushroom I found had been part of a crime scene! Here are my case files from the forest floor.

The walk I took early this morning was a very basic, easy route, but sometimes the simplest walks are the best. The weather was grey, cloudy, and a bit chilly but at least it wasn't raining. My walk started

As the bright November sun streams in through the window, sharp horizontal stripes of light and dark shadows stretch right across the living room carpet. The clever little pooch found the exact spot where

Since my last gardening blog, I searched for some winter pansies. Unfortunately, they were either overpriced or half dead! I decided to buy a heather instead which I planted in a nice pot and placed it

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
