Hello again you lot! Hope you are ok! Today I am going all green-fingered! I have always wanted to grow my own veg and even fruit, but have never had the time or patience to actually do it. Plus I don't have a greenhouse, so we're limited to whatever can grow on a window sill. [...]

A letter from David Attenborough.
It's not every day you receive a reply from one of the most well loved, all round legends that is David Attenborough. Having achieved something I would never in a million years thought possible, getting the chance to study a Postgraduate Certificate at Cambridge University. If you told that to the painfully timid 7 year [...]
Upcircle – a fresh approach to skincare and repurposed ingredients.
Today I am going to talk about and review Upcircle beauty. I first discovered Upcircle beauty in my local supermarket and then in various magazines and also on social media. Basically I was seeing it a lot and I was very intrigued to see if all the hype was worth it. After a little bit [...]
A day exploring Raby Castle Gardens.
Hello everyone! At the weekend, I ventured out to explore Raby Castle Gardens, a treasure of County Durham! It is one of the first places I have visited since lockdown has begun to ease.

Some migrate distances of thousands of miles. Take the Painted Lady for example, they complete an astounding 9000 mile [...]
Plastic Free July.
We're now a week into July, whether the weather agrees is a different matter. And with the start of the seventh month of the year comes a new challenge. No, it is not maintaining social distancing in a pub - but trying to make this month a plastic free month. Now I am going to [...]
Listening to the Wind and the Rain.
Hello again. Last week I found quite tough. I guess it is with things starting to pick up again as Boris wants us to get out and spend money. I can't help but think that we should be protecting people from COVID still - it still has not gone away. As I write this, [...]
