June & July 2018

June is 30 Days of Wild month, which we take part in every year. This year included lots of river walks in both sunshine and rain! We had picnics and paddling. We built little homes out of sticks, moss and leaves and saw fish leaping and wood ants busily at work. We walked along Dog Marsh, up to Castle Drogo and met six wild ponies on the path below the castle. July was a month of drought with so little rain that the fields all turned golden. We put little pots of water out around our garden for the wildlife and really enjoyed watching them get visited.
