You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him, would you!

Some of our Bramley apples appear to be stuck on with glue, & these are far too high to reach, even with an extendable apple-picker, so we'll just have to wait until they fall 🍏🍎 Photo by my husband 😊 #Bramley #apples #bumpercrop #organic #neversprayed #neverpruned #homegrown #gardeningforwildlife

Photo shows the top of a Bramley apple tree with large apples waiting to fall. This is only part of the tree, so plenty of apples still hanging on!

The wings just looked a bit 'chunky' to be seagulls

Just when we thought the end of this year's bumper harvest of apples was in sight . . .
These were obviously ready for picking but far too high to reach, so we had to wait until they fell today. And there are STILL more on the trees! 🍏 #homegrown #organic #bramley #lordderby #neverending #apples

That really is terrible news 😢

What a lovely encounter! Unusual to find badgers out at that time of the day, so you were definitely there at the right time on the right day 🦡

We're on top of a hill too - lovely for the views, not so good when it's blowing a hoolie

Oh, that's a shame, but something else is bound to turn up when you're least expecting it 😊

As Storm Amy will be arriving for much of the UK over the weekend, this paper collage greetings card, made from old magazine pictures, seemed appropriate - "Storm In A Teacup". Stay safe, everyone! #papercollage #greetingscard #oldmagazines #recycling #savedfromlandfill #myowndesign

A black & white dog, wearing a yellow sou-wester, is afloat in a blue & white teacup on a very rough sea. A fish is just visible in the sea, looking up at the dog. The sky is very dark & stormy.
