Welcome to another instalment from Foxglove and Bee. This week I talk about the fabulous Button and Squirt. They provide an amazing variety of products but I am focusing on their Activity books, full to the brim with facts and colour. It's a really useful resource to help with home schooling and for getting children interested in the natural world.
Hello everyone! Hope you are all ok. As well as communicating vital science to help conserve nature and our fabulous wildlife, sometimes we need to work on how we change our lifestyles. By no means are these massive changes, but if everyone made them, this would make a massive impact. Agriculture is the biggest threat [...]
Hello my lovelies! Hope you are all well. One thing I have learnt in the past few years is to make sure I practice self-care. Now this can be a variation of different things; baths, face masks, walks, listening to music, watching something funny, asking for help. What works for me might not work for [...]

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I have been putting off writing this particular post for quite some time. It is not because of the book – the book is fabulous, but please read on. I can’t quite put into words why I have been so unmotivated. I don’t know myself. I guess it [...]
Hello there and welcome back to Foxglove and Bee. In my last post I talked about all the different ways you can connect to nature during lockdown in your garden. However, I realise that not everyone has a garden and finds getting out and about on their daily exercise quite challenging for various reasons. Not [...]
Hello! Last month I travelled down to Cambridge to volunteer at the Museum of Zoology. Let me tell you, it is a fantastic place to visit, whether it is with your family or alone, you won't regret it. It is full of fabulous specimens and fantastic information for you to soak up! Plus it is free [...]
With the lockdown here to stay for a while, one way to escape the news and the feeling of cabin fever is to escape into your garden or to a local park on your allocated exercise. Even daydreaming out of the window; nature provides a great form of escapism. In this post I will be [...]
