Nap the #BorderCollie had her first #walk in the #LakeDistrict #fells since we #adopted her in June. She was a #lakes #sheepdog for 4 years but lost her role because she was afraid of vehicles.She was brave today and went in the car to Caldbeck Commons for #walkies @keswickboot.bsky.social

Here's some #flowers from my #garden. A bit rustic, but the butterflies like them.I am posting them now as they might be destroyed. Note the small #rescue #🐕, Nap. She is channelling her inner #puppy. She has tried to destroy the greenhouse and eaten a hose. @keswickboot.bsky.social #sheepdog

The #garden is a bit #wild compared to next-door who have a manicured lawn and hedge. But it's colourful and there is plenty for the birds and insects. Bullfinch love Cranesbill seeds. #Cumbria #wildlife @keswickboot.bsky.social

For #wildflower_hour #PollinatorPals we couldn't find many butterflies in north #Cumbria around my garden
There are some insects but I can't name them not knowledgeable enough. @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social
