Another big step back towards some kind of normality yesterday, day 359 of #365DaysWild, with the 1st mummy drop-off since Jan! I loved being out there with the bean among the #blossom! A #Winchester park #picnic today plus #WisteriaHysteria at the hospital! #WildBeanAdventures

No #WildBeanAdventures 2 weeks ago yesterday as we settled back in at home after our holiday. But for day 346 of #365DaysWild it was a hospital visit for me, followed by a brief sit and chat outside a nearby cafe.

No #WildBeanAdventures yesterday, but a short post-bean-bedtime wander around our garden for me for day 361 of #365DaysWild - and it looked, sounded and smelt lovely out there! It’s always worth going outside, even, or perhaps especially, at the end of a tired and lazy day!

A week ago yesterday we spent our #Easter Sunday at National Trust’s #HintonAmpner for day 355 of #365DaysWild. There were blossoms & blooms & singing thrushes, & we really enjoyed doing the tree trail for the 1st time in ages! Good kestrel sighting too. #WildBeanAdventures.

A laundry day yesterday, day 362 of #365DaysWild, but that provided a chance to watch the local nesting starlings, as well as the circling hungry corvids! Time sat outside a cafe with long-unseen friends too - lovely to watch the little ones playing together! #WildBeanAdventures

It was day 356 of #365DaysWild a week ago yesterday, and we started it with an Easter egg hunt in our garden! Later that day we had another egg hunt in my parents’ garden, admiring blossom and blooms and a singing thrush until the rain chased us back indoors. #WildBeanAdventures

We have a new review on our website, Jacqueline Reid-Walsh has reviewed Elizabeth Massa Hoiem's The Education of Things: Mechanical Literacy in British Children’s Literature: bsls.ac.uk/2025/04/hoiem-…

A bit of an under-the-weather bean yesterday, so no preschool commute & no #WildBeanAdventures. A little evening loop of our garden for me for day 363 of #365DaysWild - I love being out there at that time at this point in the year, not least for the blackbird serenade!

An unusual foray into the Forest School run yesterday morning, meaning I started day 364 of #365DaysWild with glorious views near & far! It was really lovely & special to be out there sending the bean off on woodland #WildBeanAdventures. Extra wandering for me to & from the bus!
