Love the natural world, kindness, simple sustainable living. Really detest all unnecessary and avoidable plastics esp plastic grass, pesticides, balloons, throw away plastic gimmick toys, fireworks, ocean trawling, private jets

Please leave safe, uncut margins around trees. Anybody thinking it's untidy, just close your eyes as you walk by. It is an important area for insects and beetles and damaging bark causes disease and can kill the tree.

There's nothing more refreshing and restorative than 1. gardening or 2. a hike in the woods. I can't manage the latter very often, but the potted plants are right outside. I can come back in after a couple hours and take in the news of the day without imploding. I hope you have a happy place.

In my garden. The Song Thrush sings for me every day, so it’s only right I provide an Elder with lots of delicious berries. They love them. So if you want to have Song Thrush’s in your garden. Plant one of these. 😁👌🏼 #Ireland #birds #photography #ECK
A Song Thrush perched on a slender branch, holding an elderberry in its beak. Its warm brown back and cream breast are covered in distinctive dark spots, while green foliage and clusters of ripe elderberries surround it. Golden sunlight highlights the bird’s plumage against a softly blurred background.

The older I get, the more I understand why water has been so revered in so many cultures. Not because people worshipped the water itself, but because they recognized that without water, nothing else exists. Water is the thread that holds every living system together.
