Nigel Middleton

For all my dear Twitter pals who are stuck indoors today, come and stand with me in a poppy field in West Norfolk. It’s hot, and despite the odd car passing, tranquil.

@BestBritishBeef @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive Upturned large bread basket, cattle can push it down drink , floats back up Barn Owl Bathes !

To all livestock farmers, particularly during this hot time, please remember to safeguard Barn Owls from drowning in your troughs! I put concrete blocks in mine! @BarnOwlTrust @SomersetLive

A rare glimpse of an abandoned haggis farm on Rannoch Moor, the now flooded holding pens visible from above The farm closed in the late 1800’s due to criticism around intensive breeding methods, and the owners instead switched to mining tartan, although that venture didnt last.

It’s nearly my birthday and, despite the very high temperatures in Norfolk, @NigelMiddleto12 has made me a hazelnut meringue cake! Reader, I married* him. *will marry him. Honestly, trying to find a date at Norwich Registry Office is like panning for gold with a blindfold on.

For all my dear Twitter pals who are stuck inside this evening, come and paddle with me at Holme. It’s been a hot day here in Norfolk, but the sea is cool on my feet and the sound of the waves hypnotic.

The cold air has gone and it’s a lovely warm evening in Norfolk. The birds are singing, moths are flitting and there’s a quiet hum of bees in the lime trees.

Neighbourhood Watch but Norfolk style. … this cat belongs to our neighbour but loves to keep an eye on us.

Thursday evening excitement! Borage floating on the wildlife pond, a frog on a lily pad and a hornet enjoying a drink. It’s all happening* in this corner of Norfolk tonight. *it’s not.

After a skilful renovation by @NigelMiddleto12 Enid has left his workshop and is on her way to her home boatyard. Stand by for Norfolk Broads videos…

Morston under a fabulous Norfolk sky this afternoon. The pressure is changing every few minutes it seems - magnificent headache weather.

My vegetable seeds are enjoying the close proximity of wine. I do hope they take heart and grow, despite the cold Norfolk air.

After a day of flitting around Norfolk and not having a minute of peace: the joy of being welcomed home by a Song Thrush. Shoulders drop, head begins to clear and that clear, thrilling trilling goes straight to the soul.

Sitting in the garden, watching for newts. I know, my life is one giddy whirl of thrills!

There are some benefits to the very low temperatures we are getting in this part of Norfolk at night. It’s such a beautiful night for stars.

For all my dear Twitter pals who are stuck indoors tonight, come on a woodland walk this evening with me. Birdsong, trees, moss and sunlight… it’s a beautiful evening in Norfolk.

The wonderful Ivy in Norwich this afternoon. A very, very late lunch in such a lovely setting.

Beautiful light tonight in this corner of Norfolk tonight but the temperature is plummeting. It’s going to be a very chilly night.

A stunning sky is brewing in Norfolk this evening.

@fugitiveink @NigelMiddleto12 Thank you! It’s a fabulous sky tonight - bright blue towards Cley, but glowering over Blakeney.

And the councils pay them for it .

I assumed our farmer in our village was paid by the council to manicure the verges 🤔

It's that time of year again! Roadside verges are blooming BUT mowers are out from Pembrokeshire County Council and Welsh Government. How about we give the flowers and pollinators on A40 and A487 a break this Spring and leave mowers in the depot @Pembrokeshire @TrafficWalesS
