Day 10 of #30DaysWild is all about bees. Today as we were driving home from a party a bee landed on my partner’s arm and hitched a ride with us down the road. This got me thinking about bees and reminded me that Friends of the Earth are currently running a Great British Bee Count across the…
Taking a Closer Look at the Trees – Day 9 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 9 of #30DaysWild saw Robin and Mummy take a walk around the local park. This is a walk we do often, however this time we decided to stop and take a closer look at the variety of trees growing around the park. Robin was in his pram, so as we walked around the park…
Blue Tits in the Garden – Day 8 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 8 of the #30DaysWild takes a look at a Blue Tit nest we found at my partner’s parents house. For the last few years a bright red Royal Mail nest box has been up on the house waiting for a two birds to move in and start a family. This year was the first…
Hunting for Rainbows in the Garden – Day 7 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 7 of #30DaysWild sees Mummy and Robin hunting for rainbows in the garden. Yet again the weather was pretty miserable today and although the rain was on its way out the wind had picked up and all the trees and plants were being blown around like crazy. It wasn’t the kind of day you…
Colouring In Bugs for Babies – Day 6 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 6 of #30DaysWild is another indoor activity due to three things. The first being the miserable weather, the second a baby massage class in the morning, and the third a sleepy boy! I previously said that I wanted to try and make this month a sensory journey for Robin, my 3 month old baby…
A New Hidden Gem Explored – Day 4 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 4 of #30DaysWild was a bit of a random one. We had actually been in town all day and it wasn’t until we were driving home, that we took a turn down a road we often see but never go down. Robin had been a bit grumpy in town today so it was a…
The David Welch Winter Gardens at Duthie Park – Day 3 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 3 of #30DaysWild was a trip out to Duthie Park in Aberdeen. Robin has been to this park a few times now, and one of the reasons this park is so great is that they have the David Welch Winter Gardens to wander around. These gardens are covered making it the perfect place to go…
Robin’s First Trip to Newburgh Beach – Day 2 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 2 of #30DaysWild saw Robin Oleander going to Newburgh Beach for the first time. In fact it may even be his first ever trip to a beach! Newburgh Beach is one of our favourite beaches to visit in Aberdeenshire. It is very accessible and is great for the array of wildlife, as well as…
Man Up Camilla and Go to That Baby Group!
Weeks 3 & 4 of Robin Oleander’s Life Let’s call these the transformation weeks. As mentioned in my previous post once Robin had hit 3 and a half weeks I decided it was time to get back in the car. Even if it was just to drive to the in-laws to say hello and get…
The Countdown to #30DaysWild 2017
It’s only just over 2 weeks until #30dayswild begins and I’ve been busy preparing! Once again I’ll be blogging about my daily random acts of wildness in June as part of the Wildlife Trust’s #30dayswild campaign. If you haven’t heard about the campaign before you can find out all about it on the Wildlife Trust…
The Early Weeks of Having a Baby and the Quest to Shower
The Early Weeks To be honest as I write this and try and cast my mind back to the early weeks it is a sort of blur, as if my mind almost wants to blank it out. Having my partner off for 3 weeks was great (it was a shame one of those was spent…
Say that again…I’m a Mother?!
The First Few Days of Being a Mother I won’t go into details about my labour but it was long and I ended up with an emergency c-section due to Robin’s heart rate decreasing, which to be fair I wasn’t really taking on board as I was off my face on gas and air. One…
