Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

This week we're exploring the textures, shapes and sounds of broom! I love how twisty-turny the seed pods go once they have popped open and shed their seeds. I also love their hairy pods and the sound they make when you rattle them to hear the seeds inside.

If you listen closely, you can hear them popping at the beginning and towards the end of this video (among the lovely willow warbler warbling!).

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

We're back in the rainforest on that beautiful, bright and blustery day. This time we stop to eat some blaeberries, which is the Scottish name for bilberries – a close relative of blueberries 🫐 These were delicious earlier this year, along with the rasberries and now the brambles. I do love a mid walk snack!

Just make sure you're 100% certain you know what a plant is before you nibble! 🌿

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

Today we spend some time watching a herd of semi-wild Exmoor ponies enjoying life 🐴🌿

Exmoor ponies are an amazing breed that can play an important role in supporting biodiversity, and the wonderful folk at Sauchie Home Farm have taken in these ponies as part of their rewilding efforts. It was so lovely to watch them living together with minimal human intervention, grazing, exploring and simply being ponies.

I met them as part of an amazing event with Julia Duncan Grounded Horsemanship and Dr Debbie Davy, where we learnt all about how these ponies perceive and experience their world, the incredible things they can do for biodiversity, and the urgent need to act now to help prevent their extinction.

We were lucky enough to have one very curious and bold mare come and investigate us and say hello. Such a special moment 💖

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

This week we have another short mindful moment, this time pausing to marvel at the beauty of a spider’s web shimmering in the sun. When I first caught sight of it out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was smoke! What a fantastic feat for such a small being 🕷️✨

For Capone fans out there, watch out for his cameo at the start! While filming, he gave me a little start by suddenly appearing larger than life in my camera frame! What a handsome dinosaur he is 😍

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

This week we meet a couple of jays from a family of three in my local woodland. I have a special connection with jays and was recently lucky enough to find one of their beautiful feathers, complete with that characteristic flash of blue 💙 🪶

This family seem to be two adults and a young bird who they are still looking after. I spent quite a bit of time watching and listening to them, and one of the adults appeared to be mimicking the call of a buzzard, perhaps in an effort to keep other birds away. Jays are amazing mimics, and this is just one of the many reasons I love them 💖

Have you been lucky enough to spot a jay out and about, or perhaps in your garden? They have a particular love of acorns, so woodlands with lots of oak are a good place to look!
