    It's a very famous book @Liriodendron, although I haven't read it  :)
    There's been a couple of programmes about her, but they're probably just on our Scotland channel.

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

    I've been wanting to read that, @Liriodendron - it's mentioned a lot in Robert McFarlane's 'The Wild Places' (as are several books, including 'Waterlogged' by Roger Deakin - another one I want to read). Thanks for the recommendation.

    My RTBC is just that it was another glorious day  :)

    Go for it, @LG_.  I thought of you, actually... and of @Fairygirl, too, when I was reading it.   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    She's an iconic figure up here in the hillwalking fraternity. A very unusual woman for her time too  :)

    In fairness to our new neighbours, they moved in during Winter so didn't do anything in the first few months.  By then we had got to know them quite well and they were aware that we had been close to our previous neighbours.  When the new neighbours explained what they planned to do they actually asked if we minded.  We had to tell them several times that it was their garden now and needed to fit their needs.

    Blob Opera. Not the kind of blob you'd find in your garden or in the woods, but it made my day

    Did a bit of halfmooning today. Surreptitious nibbles. You're imagining it, I'll say. The flower beds were always that size. The lawn always looks smaller in the spring. It's because of the bare earth in the flower beds. An optical illusion.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
