Enjoys ambles around my neighbourhood, nature and taking bad photos of what I see on route. Dabbles in baking and as a woman of a certain rage, really wishes I could remember what I had walked into the next room for!

Lovely walk from Blythburgh to Walberswick. Not much on the flowers but met a fly and a louse on two different fungi in the woods, a beetle along the path on the common and a snail in the reed beds. #WildWebsWednesday #nature

Watched on BBC 4 last night. This was an amazing documentary on librarians in America taking on the book banning and censorship of books, risking their own safety to do so. If you get a chance to watch this on catch up….please do so.

Experiments in baking: Lots of apples still to use up and fed up of bog standard crumble - so combined baked cheesecake with an apple crumble topping and it tastes delicious

My that looks lovely,after the strong winds we have a lot of sweet chestnuts down and may need to find a recipe for this.

Most of the crops have been harvested in my area so arable fields & surrounding hedgerows now sprouting flowers again. Hopefully identified correctly- black horehound, common mouse ear, spear thistle, black nightshade, shaggy soldier and field pansy. #WildFlowerHour

Blustery day in North Suffolk. A short walk on Fungus Day UK & after going on a Fungi ID course last week, a couple of finds to try & identify. I think the first is a Wrinkled Peach, the 2nd I’ve so far narrowed down to a Russula, maybe a Brittlegill but a little more detective work needed by me 😊

Lots of butterflies in the sunshine yesterday along the Waveney Valley. Plenty of whites, Small Heath, Common Blue, Red Admiral plus two that settled for long enough & caught with the phone camera, a worn Small Copper and Speckled Wood @bc-suffolk.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Oak marble galls, backlit spangle galls and a knopper gall that I picked up after it had bounced off my head, reminding me of the joys of walking under trees on a slightly breezy day #WildWebsWednesday

A fly, hairy sheildbug and scentless plant bug spotted in the corner of the churchyard #WildWebsWednesday

3 bees and a hover fly. Just a small selection of the buzz on the wing spotted yesterday. Cherishing the final few weeks insect life before the flowers fade. #WildWebsWednesday

Beautiful sunshine in Suffolk yesterday and ladybirds galore. A tiny Adonis almost missed, lots of plants hosting a 7 spot and my first 24 spot of the year! #WildWebsWednesday #ladybirds

And just home from the performance and what can I say…. It was an excellent performance. The cast were brilliant. Go and see it if you can

Good to see a photo of the Lundy Cabbage. The one complaint I have about this fab book is the lack of pictures. l’m reading Endemic in bed and my husband is getting cross that I keep getting up to fetch my phone to Google for pictures of what I am reading about 😁

The spangle galls are definitely the flying saucer shape image I think I had in mind from that very film

Oak trees giving off a science fiction movie vibe. Acorns emerging out of Knopper Gauls like a horror movie alien and spangles that reminded me of tiny 1950’s style flying saucers #WildWebsWednesday

The patch of Devil's-bit scabious offering a small oasis of purple amongst the yellowing grasses and Knapweed seed heads on my local common

The last patch of Devil's-bit scabious in flower on my local common was alive with the buzz of bees yesterday afternoon. It was a delight to stand in the middle of the patch, watching and listening #WildWebsWednesday @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

Ladybirds spotted on yesterdays meander around my local footpaths #WildWebsWednesday
