    Wild Edges, you are wicked, I did see the funny side, my daughter probably wouldn't (re the deer going to work) She is going through the menopause, very nasty,ugly split from bloke, and now no car, she works shifts, a 30 minute car drive, take 4 times as long on the bus, and there aren't always any at the time she needs.  She's going to have to fork out to hire a car./  To cap it, insurance, (breakdown company) failed to turn up yesterday to collect it.

    My garden is a distinct mess. I have had two moth surveys done this year, one in July, and one this week, and we have 45 types of moth so far. No wonder the bats zoom up and down at night. This week we got this little beauty..a bloodvein moth. I didn't identify them. I got someone from the local Natural History society to do it.

    Fox waiting next door  to be fed.
    They will give it an egg. This will be buried  in my flower  bed 😡
    I will say this one looks more healthy  than the usual  mangy specimen - at the moment.

    That's the problem when people see them as some sort of cute pet @B3 :/
    My garden is 'designed' but I also have areas where things are allowed to do what they want, and certainly by this time of year, stuff spills out and just gets on with it. That's fine, because anything flowering and coping with 'weather' is always welcome. 
    I think you're being too hard on yourself  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I do wish people wouldn't encourage foxes by feeding them in gardens.  They are perfectly capable of feeding themselves until they become dependant on people!

    Two young rats under the bird feeder this morning. Now only one young rat. I've been very careful with the bird food for the last couple of months and my over-feeding neighbour has been away so these have probably come down from the farm.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
