Back in August last year, as I was pruning our grape vine, I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar. And since we were all curious to see what the ‘final version’, as it were, would be like, we kept it in a special enclosure. We...

Honestly we are having funny weather here. April was very dry and quite warm, no sign of the traditional April showers. The first of May was the hottest ‘since records began’ (although nationwide records only began in 1914) so it...

I often browse on Ebay when I’m looking for something, just in case someone happens to be selling the thing I want, especially if it’s nearby. Today I thought I would have a look in case anyone is selling an office chair. Our...

Fleur @Ineeddentures I think the country should invest in producing our own renewable technology. At the moment we are at the mercy of China and did you read yesterday that some systems have been found to contain hidden kill switches?

Fleur @Ineeddentures It seems another example of how humans have messed the balance of the natural world. But if it has economic consequences (on fishing and tourism for example) then perhaps people will have to actually take notice and do something!
