My chilli seedlings are growing strong. Might have to start naming them. Any ideas? ๐ถ๏ธ
#Gardening
I got a bird bath a couple of weeks ago, but still no birds. However, while I was gardening yesterday, my three-year-old son decided to test the waterโby dunking his face in it. He then walked away, happily exclaiming how delicious it was. ๐

A tiny Biquinho Red (Pearl Pepper) seedling emerging from dark, moist soil. The seedling has two small, bright green cotyledon leaves with a slight fuzz on the stem.
Meet my Biquinho Red (Pearl Pepper) seedlings! These little guys may be small now, but theyโve got big ambitions! Theyโre growing strong in their individual pots, and I canโt wait to see them flourish into bold, fiery peppers. ๐ฅ
Anyone else have a soft spot for growing their own food?

Added a bird bath to the setupโฆ because clearly, my bird feeder wasnโt fancy enough. Still no birds, but Iโm confident Iโve got the 5-star accommodation. ๐๐ฆ #BirdBathReady #Birdwatchi

The views were incredible, and I tried to capture it as best I could. Check out the full post for some peaceful moments.
A small European robin with an orange-red breast and face is perched on a thin branch amidst a dense tangle of brambles and undergrowth. The bird stands out against the muted greens and browns of the surrounding foliage, which consists of moss-covered tree trunks, thorny branches, and a mix of green and yellowing leaves. The scene has an overgrown, wild feel, with the robin adding a touch of colour and life to the natural setting.
Thereโs something pretty magical about seeing a robin out in the wild. That flash of orange-red in the branches, the way they hop around like they own the placeโno wonder theyโre one of Britainโs favourite birds.

A vibrant harbour scene in Mevagissey, Cornwall, with numerous fishing boats moored in the shallow waters during low tide. The boats, painted in bright colours with red, blue, and white hulls, rest on the muddy seabed, their reflections faintly visible. The harbour is lined with historic stone and pastel-coloured buildings, nestled against a lush green hillside. A stone wall runs along the waterfront, where people stroll and explore the charming fishing village. The sky is a mix of blue and white, with scattered clouds casting soft shadows over the scene.
A Perfect Day in Mevagissey
I took this photo in October 2021, not long after Ollie was born. Helen and I had escaped to Cornwall for a few daysโa much-needed breather, introducing Ollie to family, and reminding ourselves that life still existed beyond nappies and sleepless nights.

Why We Should Stop Using โWokeโ as an Insult

A serene ocean scene at sunset with a clear horizon. The sky is a gradient of colors from light yellow near the horizon to a soft blue higher up. Fluffy clouds, some tinged with pink from the setting sun, are scattered across the sky. The ocean below is calm with gentle waves, reflecting the colors of the sky.
A bright blue ocean stretches across the image, with gentle ripples on the waterโs surface. The sky is mostly clear with a few fluffy white clouds scattered throughout. In the background, a distant shoreline with low-lying buildings and rocky outcrops is visible, likely part of Roscoff, France. A small island or sandbank is seen further out in the water. A lone bird soars in the sky, adding a sense of movement to the tranquil scene.
The ocean doesnโt care where youโre coming from or where youโre going. It just isโvast, powerful, and strangely calming.

A scenic view of Symonds Yat in the Forest of Dean, Wye Valley, England, featuring a winding river surrounded by lush green forests and rolling hills. The sky is bright blue with fluffy white clouds, casting soft shadows over the landscape. A small building is visible in a grassy field near the river, adding to the rural charm of the scene.
I used to run wild near Symonds Yat at the Forest of Dean as a kidโcamping at Biblins, crossing the wobbly bridge, and exploring until I dropped. Coming back with my wife and son was something special. Same view, same magic, just with a little more nostalgia.

A white swan is resting on a patch of green grass near the edge of a calm lake during sunset. In the background, another swan stands near the water, and a group of cygnets swims nearby, surrounded by ducks gliding across the reflective surface. The golden light of the setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, highlighting the peaceful atmosphere. The grassy foreground has patches of wildflowers and small white blossoms scattered throughout.
Captured this peaceful moment at Newton Keys in summer 2020: a swan resting by the lake, cygnets paddling nearby, and the golden glow of sunset. Natureโs beauty at its best. ๐ฆข๐

So itโs been a few days now since I put a bird feeder up. Still no birds yet but am planning on getting a bird bath and some shrubs nearby. I can be patient. ๐

One of my cacti has poked me with its little spikes for the second time. Turns out the itching doesnโt stop for hours, and it really bloody hurts. ๐

Still waiting for my first bird visitors! ๐ฆ Thinking of adding a bird bath and some shrubs to make the place more inviting. Any bird enthusiasts out there with tips? Let me know!

A close-up of a small aquatic setup featuring a marimo moss ball, a striped shell, and yellow and white gravel. The marimo moss ball is green and fluffy, positioned in the upper right of the image. The shell, which has a white surface with black stripes, rests partially on the gravel. Small strands of green algae appear to be growing from the shell. In the background, there are blurred rocks, and the setup is contained in a glass container. A small little moss ball is floating at the front of the jar resting on the shell.
So I think my Marimo Moss Ball is having a little baby. ๐ถ

A backyard scene featuring a bird feeder with suction cups attached to a transparent surface, now empty. In the background, a small shed with a grey door and windows is surrounded by a wooden fence and leafless trees under an overcast sky.

Iโve put up a little bird feeder on my kitchen window. Not sure how long itโll take to get some attention, but Iโve set up a camera next to it in the hopes of capturing some of our feathered friends!
Does anyone have any tips for attracting birds?

Spent yesterday visiting schools for my son who is starting next September. The little whirlwind is growing far too fast. ๐

A light dusting of snow covers a grassy area and bushes, with autumnal trees in the background. The sky is overcast, and the scene feels like a mix of late fall and early winter.
Our first snow of the winter! It was less โwinter wonderlandโ and more โsomeone shook a salt shaker,โ but hereโs hoping for some real snow by the end of the year. โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐จ๏ธ

Close up photo of the moon.
One last photo. Had to touch this one up as I zoomed as much as I could and it was a little grainy.
