A few days ago a friend of mine told me that one of her close friends had tragically taken her own life. It’s something I hear far too much. A few years ago now my sister attempted to take her own life due to an ongoing threat to the safe place she had found forContinue reading “What We Don’t Talk About”

Spring has always been my favourite time of year – specifically Easter. The sun starts to put in an appearance, lighter nights and leaves beginning to uncurl. The clocks went forward yesterday and that means coming home from work and having time to spend outside with Velvet and the garden dwellers before it starts toContinue reading “Changes & Growth”

It’s been a tough morning. A very poorly squab (baby pigeon) arrived at weekend. I named her Spirit because she was freezing cold, had terrible Canker and looked like she wouldn’t make the night. She did make the night, and the next one. Yesterday, despite treatment, I noticed that the Canker was getting worse. IContinue reading “Giving Up”

Firstly, I know I use this photo alot but it’s my favourite and Spartacus deserves the recognition. I have been reading a lot of posts on wildlife rescue pages about issues with Local Authorities. One rescue that I greatly admire has even decided to relocate. This is simply unacceptable and grossly unfair. Local Authorities shouldContinue reading “Local Authorities & Wildlife”

So I mentioned a while back that I am writing a book about our rescue – the trials etc and also about how nature helps people grow and cope. Anyway, I wanted to pop the start here. it’s not been edited and is a very rough draft but I just need some suggestions: how doesContinue reading “Suggestions Please”

As the lighter nights start to settle in I prepare myself for the plants coming back to life. I promise myself that this year I’ll actually grow things in my vegetable garden that don’t immediately get eaten by my chickens. I start to look forward to spending more time outside without getting covered in mud.Continue reading “Spring Fever”

2021 hasn’t got off to the best of starts for us at Every Feather. I can only hope that it intends to be one of those slow off the mark type of years – one that makes you think nothing will change and then everything suddenly gets good. We lost the beautiful Boo. I hadContinue reading “New Year New Problems”

I, like many, will be glad to see the back of 2020. It’s been one of those years that has continued to surprise me in particularly new and inventive ways. This year will go down in history due to Lockdowns and Covid-19. It will forever be remembered as the year that brought nearly the wholeContinue reading “Glad To See The Back of 2020”

This year has perhaps been one of the hardest. There has been Lockdowns, different Tiers and different Rules. I’ve not been allowed to spend time with my friends. The usual things I look forward to like “veranda time” in the Summer, or Bake Off Nights have all been cancelled due to new rules and regulations.Continue reading “Wildlife Saves Lives”

So we have headed back into a month long lockdown. I read someone say that this would be worse than the last one because of the terrible weather – I’m not sure they were wrong. Last time we had sunshine and that made long walks in the country a little more enticing. Now the frostContinue reading “Back in Lockdown”
