Wild & Wonderful – Day 28

Everyone loves strawberries and at this time of year people are getting ready to sit down with a big bowl covered in cream as they watch the tennis. So I’m happy to report that while I was out and about today I spotted these wild strawberries. Now I know...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 27

Yesterday I told you about my pathetic attempt at growing green beans, so today I thought I’d show off with my olive tree! It’s doubled in size since I planted it three years ago – that said I haven’t had a single olive from it!

Wild & Wonderful – Day 26

As regular readers of my blog will know, I’m no gardener! I love to sit outside and I’m really enthusiastic about growing flowers, vegetables and herbs, but sadly I wasn’t blessed with green fingers. When the green bean seeds I planted started to...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 25

Over the past month I’ve blogged about a variety of nature and wildlife, and have even managed to get my tortoises and dog involved too. However there’s someone very important who hasn’t featured yet, my cat, so please allow me to introduce you to...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 24

Readers, I need your help! I’ve been out for the day with the family and we spotted this duck nesting by the lake. At the time none of knew what breed it was so I came home and googled it, but I’m still none the wiser! Can anyone help me identify it...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 22

I love the great outdoors, there’s nothing better than being outside (preferably with bare feet), but unfortunately I don’t have any talent for gardening. However, a few years ago my Aunt gave me to big pots with cuttings from her herb garden and I’m...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 21

Word of my #30WildDays challenge is obviously spreading, because today I haven’t had to look for wildlife to blog about, the wildlife has come to me! I’d just got back from studio this afternoon and thought I’d sit down on the sofa for a bit as...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 20

I spotted this bug on the windscreen of the car today (I was a passenger, so it was ok for me to take a photo – sorry it’s not very clear though!). At the time I wasn’t sure what it was, but after much investigating, I’m pretty sure it’s...

Wild & Wonderful – Day 19

It’s been another long day, the majority of it sent in the studio and office at BBC Wales where I’m currently producing on Crimewatch Roadshow. As a result I haven’t had much of a chance to explore new wildlife today, but as I arrived home from work...
