Adventures at Drum Castle, Aberdeenshire – Day 9 #30dayswild
Day 9 of #30dayswild saw us explore the grounds of Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire. When we arrived Robin was zonked out, he had already been asleep for about an hour so I stayed in the car and left him to sleep whilst Daddy went for a walk. 45 minutes later Robin woke up, by this…
Persley Walled Garden – Day 8 #30dayswild

The Humble Snail – Day 4 of #30dayswild
I’ve always favoured snails over slugs when I see them in the garden, not sure why I just think their shells are quite cool. Not that I’d ever hurt a slug, in fact when I was little I stroked a slug with my thumb. That slug goo wouldn’t come off for ages! Not my best…
