I just wanted to highly recommend Collins Complete Guide to British Wildlife: A Photographic Guide to Every Common Species (Complete British Guides)
This books has so far managed to help me identify our Common Darter, Dragon Fly and also our Common Newts.
As you know part of our goal moving to Waterloo Farm is to try live a bit more ‘green’, or to be trendy, a more eco lifestyle.
To help achieve this we are proud to support ‘Nigel’s Eco Store‘, and can I hasten to add this is not a website that I knocked up earlier! (I also have more hair…well a little more anyway! 
)
Nigel’s store has a great product range, and makes it easier to find everyday items which have been designed with the planet specifically in mind. From out in the garden to inside the house, to tasty treats and things you can wear, Nigel’s Eco Store appears to have it all. One item we use and would love to draw your attention to is a pair of balls!
The land survey began today, and Anglia Land Surveys were back! It was a glorious day, it was still, warm and very sunny and I was very envious as I was stuck at work.
This survey will form the back-bone for our garden design.
Tammy got a great book a few weeks ago and it is a real inspiration! John Seymour seems to have been advocating ‘green’ issues and promoting a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle for years. If you want to catch this vision and read his suggestions and ideas, I would advocate getting hold of a copy of his book A Guide to Self-Sufficiency by John Seymour.
Definitely advocate anyone picking up a copy of this book.
I’m very excited – I just got my first ever books on growing your own fruit and vegetables! One is by Alan Titchmarsh, ‘The Kitchen Gardener’ and the other by a chap called John Harrison, ‘Vegetable Growing Month by Month’.
I have only just skimmed them quickly but they both look great! Cannot wait to start putting them into practice.
