Right!?! We let them explore our garden until they'd grown big enough to wander off. It was a great experience 🥰

We've visited the Street Delivery festival yday and it was so lovely. Life as I imagine it should be 🥰 A street filled with people making music, playing games, sharing books, eating ice-cream. Most games were made from reclaimed wood by a local artist. 🎶🏸♟️🎯📚🍦🔨🧶

Not at all.. it's frustrating. Few people wear masks, only when they're sick. Ppl don't really make a fuss anymore seeing me wearing an ffp2. Both for which I'm grateful. But desinformation has done a good job, unfortunately :/

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, small mammals, insects, robins, frogs, bats, toads, dunnocks, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...

That's disappointing :/ We had less limax than previous years, but then the drought didn't make it easy to grow veggies..

I haven't knitted many sweaters because they seem to take a long time to finish 😅 But, I love the look of the Free Flow Sweater so I took to the plunge and am giving it a go. And the cotton/linen yarn is really nice to knit with :) #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

These plum trees are old (I don't know their name) and we should graft them. The fruit is very sweet, a beautiful taste. And, or but, they come with a free side of protein ;) 🐛

We're getting ready to collect fruit, and the wasps are already at it. We just have to be careful 😉🐝

My friend chose our village's lovely garden cafe to get together for their 'șezătoare' 😍. In the shade of trees friendly neighbours joined in and we sat, talked, learnt, knitted & crocheted (not necessarily in that order 😉) #knitting #crochet 🧶

Bomen zijn de ultieme stadsverkoelers en zodra het kwik stijgt wil iedereen meer bomen in de buurt. Het klinkt eenvoudig: plant bomen! Maar eigenlijk is elke boom op straat een enorme opgave voor mens én boom, zegt de man die 300.000 hoofdstedelijke bomen overeind houdt.

No proper rain yet. The hills still look green with a hint of autumn colours, and the ground is pretty dry..
