Save and Grow Trees – Day 28 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 28 of #30DaysWild looks at young trees I have growing in my garden. A couple of years ago when digging up the soil in my front garden I found a little acorn which had started to germinate. I decided to plant it up in a pot and see what would happen. Over the last…

Nature Inspired Knitting and Crochet – Day 23 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 23 of #30DaysWild looks at the nature inspired knitting and crochet I am working on. Just before Robin was born I decided I wanted to try and knit and crochet some items for him, knowing that this would be a long term project as it takes me AGES to make anything! Crochet Animals I…
A Walk Around Crathes Castle – Day 22 of #30DaysWild
Day 22 of #30DaysWild looks at our wander around Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire. A couple of days ago I wrote about the yarn bombing at Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire.
