    Chillies 2025

    Last year I had a load of small chillies that I left on the shelf over a radiator and forgot about for several months. They dried out beautifully.

    What's buzzing or flying near you 2025 ?

    The 10 Glossy Ibis moved close to Wareham town this morning, feeding in the flooded fields by a public footpath a few 100yds from home. I just hope they stay around for the winter.
