Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

Mathilde had a meeting with Bookwyrms; they decided it was a mondayish monday & therefore cake was needed.

Good thing we have a friend who loves to bake!

Thankyou Cake Baker for the lovely brownies. 😚🥳

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

The weather has now officially caused the return of The Hat. 😁 Hi from me, the human behind the Dragons.

P.s; If you're shopping for a special occasion our Dragons of Shropshire Mightie Makers sh_0_p is up and running.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

How's this for a fabulous video of the gorgeous Wyresytch Fyre?! 😍

Mathilde thought it was hilarious that we almost walked right past, he was so well camouflaged. (We didn't half feel silly 😂)

Hello dragonspotters.
We had a meeting at Bury Ditches.

But because these dragons have no concept of time, they didn't show up.

Mathilde went off to find them & left us in the mist for over an hour. It was chilly up there. Spooky too. Did not like.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

Our phone gallery gave us this collage of waterfalls with Mathilde in the middle this morning; we thought you'd get a giggle out of it.

And maybe an ear worm.
Or maybe thats just us showing our age? 😂

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

We had a wonderful walk on Sunday.

Mathilde said she was quite tired & required many biscuits. We thought that quite funny as we carried her the *whole* way. 😂

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Do you like this months calender picture?
A little Blossom Baby looking all adorable in the hedgerow. ❤️

We're putting the (slightly late) order for 2026 calenders in on Monday if anyone wants one.

Hello Dragonspotters ☺️

We found our first Fly Agaric of the season & a tiny Blossom Baby.
Its very late in the year to find a baby this small.
Mathilde intervened and brought her back to HQ. Poor little thing.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

Just a quick post, Mathilde went foraging today and somehow managed to find pretty cake, funny little dragon 😄

We asked her if it was a cake tree, shrub or vine but she just rolled her eyes at us. 😆

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

Did we ever show you the needlefelt sculpture of the Long mountain Oak Dragon?

We can't remember, so we thought we'd do so today. Isn't he a beauty?! 🥰

Photo is one of the only ones we have of them all in one place.

Hello DragonSpotters 😁

On our morning walk yesterday we noticed the playing field was carpeted with these tiny ethereal looking mushrooms.
.

Hello DragonSpotters. 😊

Happy September!

On this months calendar page is the Shropshire Minor, they are fiercly territorial & call The Bog near The Stiperstones their ground; woe betide any dragon who dares trespass. 😁

Hello DragonSpotters 😊

Tea & cake on a friday afternoon after a busy morning full of meetings? Yes please!

Mathilde chose the cake; a passionfruit sponge with edible, gold sparkles.

We hope you had a good week?

Hello DragonSpotters 😊
We've been out topping up birdbaths, bowls and troughs today as the local wildlife is not loving this extended dry period at all. 🥵

Mathilde say please do consider putting shallow bowls of water out in accessible spots.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️

Emergency call for a Caradoc Shortail stuck in brambles but when we got there it had unstuck itself and wandered off.

Mathilde declared it too nice to return to HQ so we had tea & biscuits under an oak tree.
