Air Drying Clay & Flowers – Day 21 of # 30DaysWild
Day 21 of #30DaysWild was another crafty activity involving air drying clay and foliage. This was something Robin and I tried last year, but sadly as the clay dried it cracked. This time I did a bit more research on materials and technique and I have to say I’m delighted with the results! Although Robin…
A wander around Walker Dam in Aberdeen – Day 20 of #30DaysWild
Day 20 of #30DaysWild involved an unplanned visit to Walker Dam in Aberdeen. After what was just going to be a quick look, turned into a much longer explore of an area we didn’t know existed! If you are looking for somewhere new to explore I’d recommend it. Located just off of Springfield Road in…
River Dee and Robert Gordon University campus walk – Day 19 of #30dayswild
Day 19 of #30dayswild saw us visit the beautiful campus of Robert Gordon University and continue our trail onto the River Dee.

A Nature Filled Day – Day 18 of #30DaysWild
Day 18 of #30DaysWild involved a few things including a discovery of a pretty impressive fungus! Today I decided it would be a good day to go and add one of Robin’s rocks to the big rock snake in our local community. After painting rocks for day 15 they were now all sealed ready to…
An Urban Wildflower Meadow – Day 17 of #30DaysWild
Day 17 of #30dayswild saw us explore an urban wildflower meadow. I’ve featured this on #30dayswild in previous years, but it’s so pretty I couldn’t help going back. Every year the same area is left to grow and go wild at the BP headquarters in Dyce. I drive past it most days (or would before…
Dragons, Wildflowers, Rocks and Slugs at the River Don – Day 16 of #30DaysWild
Day 16 of #30DaysWild- a walk of discovery down at the River Don. Today I started work slightly later, so it gave Robin and I more time to have a walk and explore the River Don. We have spent a lot of time there during lockdown but normally explore the wilder end. This time we…

A Misty Walk By Donmouth, Aberdeen – Day 14 of #30DaysWild
Day 14 of #30DaysWild was a little bit of a soggy and misty walk at Donmouth, Aberdeen. What a contrast in weather we have had in the last few weeks! Today was a very misty day but it didn’t stop us from doing something wild. As soon as you walked into the reserve the air…

Visiting Hazlehead Park – Day 12 of #30DaysWild
Day 12 of #30DaysWild was a trip to Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen. It’s been a while since we have been (not since lockdown) so it was a nice change in scenery. We even managed to get a coffee from a kiosk there too! Not long after we arrived we saw two girls from Robin’s nursery…
