Today's job was finishing off a new seat I've installed at #BoxHill tower. It's in memory to one of the National Trust volunteers. It was an honour to do it for him. 🙂 Mike's seat. ❤️

The UK's smallest butterfly, the #small blue on its food plant #kidneyvetch. Very rare little critters. 🙂

Nature Recovery phase 2 on Box Hill done by yours truely. Phase 1 has been brilliant with high biodiversity, including some very rare native orchids. Watch this space! 🌼 🙂

Harvest.... 😋

One of the largest toads I've ever found, (keys for scale), to one of the smallest minutes later. Love em. 🥰

Earlier this week, I was ably assisted by National Trust volunteer carpenters, installing new signage they'd crafted at Winkworth. 🙂

If you've never experienced the incredible sweetness and taste of a #greengage, get them in your life! In season now for around 3 weeks. 😋

So happy to have found a #brooklamprey in the Tillingbourne at Abinger Hammer today! May not be pretty, but soooo damn cool! 😲

Very proud to be in the news for co-designing and installing the first Surrey Hills National Landscape boundary markers. More to be installed soon. 🙂

Such a gorgeous creature. 🥰 #slowworm A species of lizard, just legless. Like me after a few pints! 🤣

A lovely little project at Abinger Hammer a few weeks ago. Improving access to nature. 🙂 share.google/gyu2DyzwTI9S3L…

It's that time of year again. Hearty red and lit the woodburner. Contentment. 🥰

Pretty evening. 🥰

Two more Surrey Hills National Landscape signs went in today. Co-designed, oversaw manufacturing and installed by yours truly. 🙂

Tongue-out-Tuesday in celebration of the spring moving his horn away from his eye! Happy days! 🙂 #WiltshireHorn

The Surrey Hills are starting to look quite autumnal. 🙂

Home 🥰

Who says you can't mow the grass in the rain? 🤔🤣 #hornyhelpers #wiltshirehorn

Signs of spring? 🤔 This mild weather has fooled these #primrose into flowering a good two months early! 😳

Such a glorious start to the day. Love the bright frosty winter mornings. 🥰
