I realise, I may polarise myself, but I doubt it really. Those who have read my blog so far, are nature lovers, right? If you love nature then I’m sure you already know that remaining within the EU is a no brainer. …
Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed the strawberry solstice moon last night, Happy Solstice to you all.

Today, we were really surprised when we found a beautiful common-spotted orchid (Dactylorhiza fuschsii). Although it is widespread throughout the UK, it was so fantastic to see one in our unmown garden, Fermanagh is fantastic for orchids as the limestone soil is perfect for their growth. …
