These interests don't just stop when the sun goes down either. I enjoy walking during the evening and camping, but when I'm too puffed out for any of the outdoors stuff, I'm also happy being an armchair naturalist. Books are probably my biggest hobby and I've gleaned most of what little I know of this world from them. I also like watching documentaries on the natural world and like to read along the series with the accompanying book.
I'd like to use this blog to just jot down my thoughts, along with posting images of the natural world (plants / animals) with my best guess for identification. I'm always happy to hear if I'm wrong with an identification. Most of what I write will be about nature from what you can see from your bedroom window to the whole of the UK, but sometimes I'll reach even further than that and write about things I find interesting in the wider world. This blog is mainly my way of documenting my activities in nature and as a way of trying to remember the names of things I've seen.
Since 2012, I've had the illness ME. While I try to not define myself by this illness, it has changed my life in many ways. There are times when I'm too ill to post and therefore there will be gaps in posts. In those cases, I'll be back as soon as I can. In the past I haven't written much about the illness, but I am in the process of writing a series of posts about gardening with ME in the hope that it will help others get back to, or start, gardening even though they're ill.
Thanks for visiting and I hope that you enjoy my blog! Please feel free to contact me with the contact form or in the comments section of my posts.
Best wishes,
Tim
