I’ll ensure I catch it on iPlayer, Hamza is a great presenter who is a natural with those he engages with

Spent a great weekend at Trees for Life at Dundreggan in the Highlands @visitdundreggan.bsky.social learning about their work, walking and practicing yoga with like-minded people. We couldn’t have asked for better weather @highlandsrewilding.bsky.social @rewildscotland.bsky.social #Rewilding #Trees

A tree nursery at Trees for Life on the Dundreggan Estate in the Scottish Highlands. It was interesting hearing of the work undertaken by committed staff and volunteers to bring on the next generation trees to rewild the estate. There are poly tunnels with young trees and seeds and many other trees in trays outside. The autumn colours sing in the sunshine

A photo of birch trees taken from lying on the ground at the Dundreggan estate. Part of the retreat was forest bathing where we mindfully sat in nature, absorbing the sights, smells and feel of the land. The trees are photographed against a clear blue sky on a warm autumn day

Good for you Cora, you’re very wise!

Waiting on her wrists is really weird 😂 time flies quickly, extra treats today!

Great shots!

When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/hedgehogs

Save Britain’s hedgehogs: make hedgehog highways law!

"Just 5 more minutes?" 😴

#MondayMotivation

A red squirrel nestles snugly between two tree branches, its bushy tail curled over its head like a cosy blanket. One sleepy eye peeks out from the fluff, giving the impression of someone hitting snooze on a Monday morning. The golden light and soft focus add to the peaceful, drowsy vibe of this woodland scene.

Done! I could have reported another one but I couldn’t remember the date

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 9d

That’s very true

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 9d

Wow! That’s a very emotional watch (I write through tear-blurred eyes)

Sorry, the inside cover describes the story!

The inside cover which describes the story of ‘A Fire in Their Hearts’ by Philip Paris. It’s historical fiction which is set in the 17th century. It tells of the struggles of the Covenanters through a love story of the two main characters.

When you’ve no power for 36 hours over a storm, what else is there to do but immerse yourself in a good book?! I started ‘A Fire in Their Hearts’, the new book by local writer Philip Paris #HistoricFiction #Books #ScottishFiction

The cover of a hardback book called ‘A Fire in Their Hearts’ by Philip Paris. The cover shows a stormy sea at night and a Galleon on the waves and there is a broken chain in the foreground which symbolises the prisoners on the ship

Hopefully they didn’t make too much noise and disturb your beauty sleep ❤️

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 9d

We bought 4 of these trees and I have to say the scent is beautiful. They do attract aphids like I’ve never seen though.

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 10d

Very excited to hear you have a new book coming and based in Cromarty, across the water from me. It’s an enriched read when you’re reading about a place you’re familiar with. Sounds good!

You clearly knew where you were going, hopefully it was worth the journey 🤭

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 11d

I definitely tempted fate as we’ve well and truly got the storm now, scary when we have so many trees around us

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 11d

Thankfully not much with us yet in the Highlands, some heavy rain but hardly a breath of wind. Calm before the storm maybe (and maybe I’m tempting fate 😬)

You know how your mobile can show you photo memories? One has just popped up on my home screen #Berlin #Cathedral

Fabulous. I know I have Jays but they are rarely spotted.

Beautiful coat and markings, don’t you just love Whippets ❤️

Lynne @goldenchild.bsky.social · 12d

The breeder just described him as fawn particolour. I loved his white ‘button’ on his back. He was a stunner and he drew admiring looks wherever he went (most Whippets do right enough)

Remembering Ivor. Photo of Ivor against the Autumn leaves; he knew how handsome he was #Whippets #Dogs
