🧶😃Just 10 (yes really... only ten!) weeks to go folks!😃🧶 yarndale.co.uk

Elsie in the shade. Hope everyone can find a shady spot to pause for a while & keep cool.

Fill a birdbath during a heatwave. Plant flowers for bees and butterflies. Leave a small corner undisturbed for wildlife. Notice the small lives moving through your garden. These things don’t make headlines, but they matter.💚

Elsie's enjoying another sunny day. Beside a cool drystone wall.
