Nice early walk with monkey! Almost made it round dry, caught by a heavy shower on the last leg! Time for a hot drink now!

I haven't seen many wasps through summer but the ivy is covered, they're going mad for the fennel and parsnips that have gone to seed too.

Ivy is a magnetic for them isn't it, wasps too!

Bedroom slowly becoming a jungle!

Not 100% sure as the tree was already on the plot but I've a feeling its a red delicious type

They're early for the party but the thanksgiving divas are in the house and im loving that they're back!

Still picking apples!

Nice early walk with Reggie

UK opts out of flagship fund to protect Amazon and other threatened tropical forests Decision is bitter blow to Brazil ahead of fund’s launch at Cop30 – and an embarrassment to Prince William

This is absolutely appalling.

"The UK will not contribute to a flagship fund for the world’s remaining tropical forests, in a bitter blow to the Brazilian hosts on the eve of the Cop30 climate summit."

Absolutely pathetic.

A close, detailed portrait of a Swift’s face. Its dark eyes and sleek feathers fill the frame, showing a rare close-up this special and vulnerable bird.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌

We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.

The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

I have last year's batch in a demijohn and sloes in the freezer for this year's, they seem to get picked over quickly up here

My attempts outdoors under black membrane were terrible, all like pencils and most were nibbled

Just for Halloween, my lovely little bulbophyllum opens the other 2 spikes.

We're all coming along for the ride with you Mr.

Flowers grown by me on the allotment, arranged by mum and now sitting proud on grandads gravestone for his birthday! He would be dead chuffed having been a keen gardener and allotment holder himself.

Poster warning about hedgehogs sleeping in garden woodpiles, and asking people to check before burning them

Remember, remember, the hogs in November. It's bonfire night soon. Remember that at this time of year hedgehogs are making homes in woodpiles or piles of garden waste. Please check before lighting your bonfire. (please share or print and display poster) #Hedgehogs #BonfireNight #GuyFawkes
