Happy Chinese New Year - a little late but my Fire Horse was inspired by a pony I met on Ashdown Forest so it can't keep up with the bigger ones!

Nearly missed tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - fascinated by the analysis that showed that a stone hand tool was used for grinding tin.

Artefacts including stone hand tool and Roman swords.

With malted grain and a barrel hoop from the oldest whisky maker in the world, today's #DrawingDiggingForBritain had a bit of a theme going on!

My @RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch is done. Fewer small birds because I am not using feeders this year but an absolute pleasure to see 6 Blackbirds and a Song Thrush raiding the little Crab Apples from our tree. Uckfield, Sussex.

Drawings of Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Thrush with list of birds.

#DrawingDiggingForBritain I gasped when they slid the Roman bone box lid open. I could imagine the Roman lady or her servant using the ointment that was thought to be inside.

So much to see in tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - Athough the Carnyx and Boar's head standard were magnificent, my favourite find was the wooden ladder at Sizewell.

Drawings of iron Carnyx, boards head; Wooden ladder, stone kiln etc.

After a dusting of snow, I threw some bird food onto the grass and retreated inside. Naturally, the Blackbird was first to arrive. #12dayswild

I enjoyed a chilly Uckfield (Sussex) #NewYearPlantHunt - I found a total of 35 species, the same as last year. The stars of the show were a frosted Pineapple weed, a large patch of Sweet Violets and Oscar the cat. uckfieldwildlife.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

I found this White-lipped Snail tucked in beside a log. It appears to have a "door" across the mouth of it's shell so I'm guessing it is still "at home". I've put it back where I found it. #12dayswild late - forgot #

Our Oak, aka the Sussex Weed, has had a bumber crop of acorns. I've cleared about 11,000 so far to maintain balance in the garden and there are still plenty left for garden visitors. #12dayswild

Lest we forget: Acorn to recall WW1 battle of Verdun, purple Poppy for the animals that served, Spitfire, Remembrance red Poppy and wings to commemorate the Battle of Britain.

Very poignant commemoration of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day at Uckfield'sVictoria Park. A singer encouraged us to join in with the old songs. "Show me the way to go home" is almost a family catch phrase. Then a proclamation and prayers before a 2 minute silence and the lighting of the beacon.

This is the thing I made when I was mucking around with the Bayeux thing for thing 2 of my 6 things

It’s in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, with two people standing in the bottom left and quite a lot of birds everywhere else.
Caption (in Bayeux-like typeface):
“Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near”
“No idea”

A great photo of our Southerham Farm nature reserve, taken last summer by Paula Oakley. Within the chalk massif of the Lewes Downs, the reserve comprises rolling downland set in a working livestock farm. Look for many chalk grassland flowers & butterflies. Part of @southdownsnp.bsky.social

In this weather, wildlife appreciates some fresh water. As you can see, they don't mind if the dishes are from Tesco ready meals!

Lottie Dod won Wimbledon today in 1887 at age 15. She still has the record as youngest woman to do so. She won four more. Then won the British ladies golf championship, played hockey for England and won a silver in the Olympics at archery. She served as a nurse in WW1.
