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.

Getting on Board With Bees – Day 10 of #30DaysWild 2017
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…

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…
