Good morning from a blustery Brighton!

Good morning from #Anglesey

Good morning ☕️ The beauty of lesser celandine 🥰 At this time of year they’re so easy to identify as their shiny bright yellow petals really stand out against the surrounding landscape. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!

I love the Eastbourne coast, especially down by the harbour ⛴️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good morning ☕️ A beautiful daffodil to start the week. Lots of daffodils in flower now, and it’s so nice seeing them everywhere. Happy new week everyone! #Daffodils #FlowerPhotography

Golden glows 🌅 ‘Round my hometown 🧡☀️🎶’

It’s been an action packed weekend with Mother’s Day and celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday yesterday 🥳🎉 Having fun in Eastbourne was a highlight. For some reason the kids favourite thing to do there is just clamouring on the boulders on the beach. We ended the day eating in a lovely Italian restaurant at Sovereign Harbour.

Spring 🤩

Should probably leave at some point 🌊☀️🎧

Sending morning vibes from a moment of pure early-dawn peace 💙💛🌊

A glorious day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My heart 🥺 Me & my little sidekick watching the sunset. I hope he grows up always wanting to chase beautiful skies like I do 🧡

Wishing you a happy Sunday from Guisborough Priory, North Yorkshire 😊

I mentioned the Chillingham cattle yesterday as the only wild cattle in Britain. I need to correct myself. There are also the cattle of Swona. Swona is a small uninhabited island in the Pentland Firth, off the north coast of Scotland, between Orkney and the mainland. It was farmed until 1974, when the last residents left. They left the cattle behind. Not intentionally. The cattle couldn't be shipped off easily, and they were left with the expectation that someone would return. Nobody returned. The cattle have been entirely unmanaged since 1974. Fifty years. No veterinary care. No supplementary feed. No winter housing. No worming. No human intervention of any kind. The Pentland Firth is one of the most ferocious tidal straits in the world. The weather on Swona is what you'd expect from a small island in the North Atlantic between two significant landmasses that disagree about where the water should go. The cattle are fine. They have self-selected for hardiness over fifty years. The weaker animals don't survive. The genetics that remain are the genetics that can handle Swona in January. They have developed observable social structures, seasonal behaviour patterns, and apparent self-medication through plant selection. The Chillingham herd has 750 years. The Swona herd has 50. Neither asked for management. Both are getting along without it. The cattle do not require us as much as the argument requires them to.
