Like most cats Tony often changes his preferred napping spot... for some unfathomable reason he has lately given favour to the loudest piece of plastic in the world! Every tiny movement is accompanied by a crackle crackle 😹.. We always know when he's woken from a nap

It's time for my annual Hawthorn ketchup batch-make... As the old saying goes, "make ketchup when the Hawthorn berries shine"... (that's how it goes, right? 😆)

When the butterfly flies away before you can take the shot... but you end up with a much better photo as result! #butterflyweek

On the hottest #caturday of the year, Tony finds the coolest place in the house. It's a shame we won't all fit!

Silver tabby cat Tony is lying in the small gap between the table and wall in our entrance way under the radiator and coat rack surrounded by objects.

#30DaysWild day 15: planned a bit of stargazing forgetting the sun stays up until 9:30pm mid-june. However, #tonythecat showed his commitment to sustainability by adopting an insect-protein diet - he stalked, caught and ate several unidentified inverterbrates in the 5 minutes I was watching him

#30DaysWild day 14: had lunch and a stroll around Porters Lodge garden and tearoom.

#30DaysWild days 11 and 12 - I enjoyed my lunch break out in the elements;
day 13 - I thanked the rain for watering my dad's plants that are in my garden while he moves house. They will hopefully now still be alive when he gets them back 😬

#30DaysWild day 10: Tony tried to help with the wildlife-themed jigsaw puzzle but he hasn't quite got the hang of it yet.

#30DaysWild day 6: I fed the birds before breakfast so I could have my breakfast at the same time and watch them all (almost scuppered by Tony my cat choosing that time to sit in the garden, but he came in after a short while (he doesn't chase them, but has a specific meow for them!))

#30DaysWild day 5: I watched the opening ceremony for #WorldEnvironmentDay taking place in Jeju

UN Environment Programme @unep.org · Jun 5

By 2040, plastic leakage is predicted to grow 50%.

Unless something changes.

From Jeju to Chicago, millions are joining #WorldEnvironmentDay with one voice: it’s time to #BeatPlasticPollution, for people and the planet.

#30DaysWild day 3: when I went to bring the milk in at 6am, I paused to listen to the blackbird singing, and feel the cool breeze on my face (well actually more like a cool gale, but that doesn't sound as poetic!)

Yesterday I learnt that you can tell if a dog rose flower has been pollinated by how yellow the centre is. This one has been pollinated 🐝😊
