#HistFicThursdays - New Year's Resolutions
Happy New Year, Readers! New Year (only last week) seems like an eternity ago. The reason being that we have been snowed in for almost ever...

Snow curtain up. Caithness is now cut off and we are entirely snowed in.

2025 was perhaps my best year of botany, so I thought I'd post a few highlights from Scotland. A well-timed trip to Orkney in May produced Oysterplant (Mertensia maritima), Holy-grass (Hierochloe odorata) and Scottish Primrose (Primula scotica). @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Sir Louis Curlewy by Susan Crow is a lovely little book that is ideal for slipping into your rucksack when you go on a nature walk with a little one so that you can read it to them when, or if , you are lucky enough, as I was , to see and hear the curlews circling overhead.
