All this fuss about Glastonbury when the real story about music is that Dross are reforming

I saw that Charles was trending and thought for a moment I was in hot water for picking off the crackling from the pork I just roasted. It wasn't that. It's probably something to do with something someone said at a pop festival.

July and a change of pace. The nursery feels like it's under control. Clearing areas and potting for next year. Suddenly it's all blackbirds and thrushes, Robins and crows. Fluffy sparrows learning to fly

5-13 July is Wales Nature Week! There’s a host of wonderful events all across Wales that you can get involved in – check them out here: biodiversitywales.org.uk/Wales-Nature-W… Wales Biodiversity

It’s National Meadows Day today. To mark the occasion, as well as our 5th year of BMS project, it would be great if our followers could take a look at their local grassland patch and send us a list of species. You don’t need to be an expert. All records are valuable. Thank you 👍

Still hot and sweaty at parsley central but got a bit of potting done as well as chasing a few late payers.

Bulrush, Typha latifolia. Up to 300cm. Flat, glaucous leaves up to 25mm wide. Male flower head at top, dark brown female flower head below. Usually no gap between but sometimes there is a gap of up to 25mm between them.

I am in minor injuries dept in Cardigan. Its brilliant but it has daytime TV on a big screen. Its weird. I preferred it when a guy with a beard and thick glasses drew equations on a board in black and white
