Midsummer Day – A Bubble of Happiness

midsummer day, recycle works, Sylvia Hopwood


We have arrived at Midsummer Day without noticing it at all! There have been idyllic moments although they did not last for long. I recalled the most relaxing time of my life when, at school we used to lie in the hot sun on the playing fields and just watch the midges overhead! In those days we even used to suck the sweet nectar from the stems of the grasses!!

It was when loitering with the dogs in a rarely visited part of the garden this week, when I realised that the ground below me was awash with vetches, clovers, buttercups, cowslips (now over), lots of wild flowers and those lovely grasses that you can run your fingers up the stem and release a handful of seeds to the wind. I was standing in a tiny natural meadow which will never have been ‘farmed’ by anything more than a few pregnant ewes since the 18th century. There is enough known about this little area to say this with confidence. This is what my husband used to call, a Bubble of Happiness.

Only One Week Left Until It’s Father’s Day!

If there is someone you’d like to treat on Father’s Day, then why not show them how much you care with a gift that they’re sure to love.

Have you seen our fantastic Seed Tins? These stylish boxes are the perfect place to keep seeds and bulbs in good condition and away from mice and insects.They can be wall mounted or free standing and have been designed in consultation with Tony Russell, BBC garden writer and broadcaster. Made of heavy gauge steel, there is a lip on the floor of the box so nothing will roll out!

Another suggestion we have is a Stylish Willow Herb Planter which will look good in any location and will enable you to have a constant supply of fresh herbs. Supplied with a planting bag, the willow panels simply clip together around the outside of the planter bag, allowing them to be dismantled and stored inside over winter.

Or alternatively there’s the Selection Feeding Table with which you can offer three different sorts of food at the same time. Try some ground blends, a few sunflower seeds and some of our new Suet Pellet treats, for example, in the various sections and see which birds eat what!

We also love our Luxury Recycled Leather Kneelers which are so soft and luxurious and really do make a wonderful gift that can be used again and again!

We hope that we’ve given you some inspiration and ideas of items that would make ideal Father’s Day Gifts but there really are so many products available on our website that it’s impossible to cover them all. However whatever you choose, we’re sure it will be very much appreciated and cherished!
