Day 15 of #30DaysWild looks at Robin and my walk down to the River Don. We are lucky enough to live really close to the River Don, it only takes us about five minutes to walk there from our house. Today first thing, Robin had his 4 month injections. So afterwards I decided we would…

A Wander Around Hazlehead Park – Day 13 of #30DaysWild
Day 13 of #30DaysWild saw Robin and I take a walk around Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen. Somewhere I have been many times, but the ever changing landscape makes every visit different. My walk around the park today is a route I often take, but as I started to walk around I came to realise that…
Mini Alpine Garden – Day 12 of #30DaysWild
Day 12 of #30DaysWild takes a look at my mini alpine garden I planted last year. At the beginning of last year I got interested in alpine plants. I can’t even remember where it came from. I think it was a combination of seeing massive succulents on my Instagram feed along with seeing alpine gardens…
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…
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…
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…
It’s Not the End – Day 30 of #30DaysWild
The time has now come for #30dayswild to end. But with such an amazing response to the campaign many of the ‘Wilders’ will be continuing to explore and create throughout the year, including me! Ok so it may not be every day or even every week but exploring wildlife is something I really enjoy so…
National Trust for Scotland Inverewe Gardens – Day 23 of 30 Days Wild
One place that has been on my list of places to visit is the National Trust for Scotland Inverewe Gardens located near Poolewe on the shores of Loch Ewe. We decided to make a little de-tour over here on our way to Dornie on our holiday. The gardens benefit from the temperate climates due to…
A Stroll Around NTS Newhailes – Day 19 of 30 Days Wild
Day 19 of 30 Days Wild is a photographic record of my stroll around National Trust for Scotland property Newhailes near Musselburgh. The walk around the estate takes you from overgrown woodland to surprising clearings where the sunshine pours through the woodland canopy. As the walk continues you enter a large clearing of long flowing grasses…
And the rain goes on….Day 16 of 30 Days Wild
Day 16 of 30 Days Wild is a quick look at how all the rain we have been having is impacting on the garden. The rain is still here and the garden is getting rather soggy now. Some of my plants seem to be loving it like my Alpines, Mint and my Potatoes. Others like…
Looking Back to Spring – Day 13 of 30 Days Wild
Day 13 of 30 Days Wild is not so much about the now, it’s more about looking back to Spring when it all began. We start looking forward to Spring in the Autumn when we plant up our bulbs. At that point Spring seems months away, and with the arrival of Winter our longing to…
