Was deep into talking about hawthorn nerdery & why it was seen as deathy by ancient folk for my workshops but suddenly a cuckoo starts calling & I forget what the hell I was talking about bc this bird is now RARE & it’s such an evocative gorgeous sound.... SOUND UP 🔈🪶:show more

We might not have cuckoos but we do have piglets! 30 mins old - born this afternoon. There are more on the way.

Oh! xx

Hey guys!! I've been listening to this song lately and thought it would be fun to do a cover of it!! wdyt!? #lovesong #music #Jazz #CoverSong #Singing

Love this post Emma and your joyful excitement. My face was like that yesterday when I saw Mrs blackbird enjoying a splash in the bird bath for the first time!! 😍

Ah that IS magical, 'Steve' my blackbird (I don't think he's the same Steve as before tbh but still lovely to have him in the garden) had a bath in my slightly neglected lockdown pond a few days ago and it made me SO happy.

Well. I was listening to this while waiting at the supermarket, straining to hear the cuckoo, when he suddenly came through LOUD and clear. Took a minute to realize he was also in the wood out the back... 😂❤ First one I've heard in years!

Oh wow!

And whatever you’re doing when you first hear a cuckoo is what you’ll be doing lots of for the rest of the year they say so you’ll be outside looking at flooers - perfect!

Standing in a flowery bush then. Good 👍🏼

😍 used to hear cuckoos at my grandparents’ rural home in Suffolk. Nice memory rekindled.

❤️❤️❤️🪶xxx
