Homemade potpourri for day 11 of 30 Days Wild.
I'm not a fan of flowers, as in bunches and bouquets because they just die.
Instead, I prefer them in the garden to live as long as possible.
So to make use of our Pansy deadheads I've been drying them out and using fragrance oil to upcycle it all into potpourri!
Also pictured is a daily visitor of ours, a Blue Tit with a very sore looking head and a not so common visitor for us a beautiful little Sparrow!

Goodbye Newburn! Mr H's official last day at his job, phew!
I wanted to get a final view from the bridge as well as get a photo of this beautiful lilac,
so we had a quick little wander around the corner before driving away for the last time.

As I explained last week, we have a Lush bath every Sunday and didn't want to break the streak this month. I loved the colour the water turned!
Day 13 of 30 Days Wild ended up being a Bee rescue!
We've had plenty of similar situations over the past few years, just last week I had to help a little guy who'd gotten stuck in the greenhouse overnight.
Sadly, this Bee had been caught by a spider web at the entrance of where they are living.
They seemed exhausted by the time we found and freed them.
They crawled straight onto my hand and everytime I tried to transfer them to a plant or flower they turned around and clung onto my hand.
I set them on my knee, assisted them in gently pulling off some residual web, offered them some sugar water and just with them on my hand while they rested.
After some tears and heartbreak at them struggling, falling etc (the reason why the sound is muted on the videos) I was finally successful in transferring them off my hand near where they are currently living.
Checking back after a while, I was glad to see they'd finally been able to take off. 🖤🐝

A little update on the Caterpillar from day 6 of 30 Days Wild. They have grown considerably!
I can't settle on identification after a lot of searching online, so feel free to tell me!
Also, a look in our greenhouse on my morning rounds haha.
We planted a much smaller range this year and due to our location everything is a little further behind, but it's coming along well.
There are 6 courgettes growing nicely and we've already had a good amount of lettuce!

You have no idea how good it feels to have had my feet back in the sea!!
I popped up to visit my parents yesterday and Dad and I visited my favourite beach in my hometown.
I have 40 odd photos to share in a blog post of all the beautiful nature and wildlife,
but here is a good snippet of Day 15, 30 Days Wild!

Had a play with clay and leaf imprints today. Not sure what to do with them though...

There was a lot on the to-do list today, so very little outdoor time besides re-potting some
flowers and starting off some more cress seeds in my little elephant pot!
This evening we had some fun with Eos and Aurora and the enrichment toy I made from toilet rolls!
