Empty skies. The swallows have left for the south. Let’s hope we see them back next year. #ClimateDiary #MigratoryBirds
While a big fan of rewilding: letting grass grow. A tool I use a lot is the Husquvarner brushcutter - it makes organic field management possible (and yes, before you ask we have a scythe & use it regularly but the brush cutter does thistles/path-clearing much more efficiently than the scythe). Today’s problem is that the little plastic connector that catches the pull-back on the starter cable has broken. Can’t find one online anywhere😡. Have emailed suppliers. #Mend #Fix #Smallholding #organic

Dog walk two views from the same point in the path. We need sunscreen going forward and raincoats for going back! #Scotland #dogs #photography #weather

Blaeberries in the rain and nettles. Going to have to come back with gloves and clear up round this bush. #Work #Smallholding #Fruit
View from the gate: rain approaching. We are to have #thunderstorms tomorrow. #BattenDownTheHatches
