March 11th: Full moon against blue sky.

March 12th: Gorse glowing orange in evening sun.

March 13th: Sweet smelling wild Robes Sanguineum. A vigorous deciduous shrub with lobed, aromatic, green leaves. Pendant racemes of reddish-pink tubular flowers in spring are followed by spherical, blue-black fruit.

March 14th: Vinca Major Greater, also called periwinkle or creeping myrtle or dogbane  sorcerer’s violet or fairy’s paintbrush

March 15th: Urban daffodils. Hunt for rare daffodils that are feared lost. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0qwvppk0zzo

March 16th: My garden still looking pretty wintery.

March 17th: Broom still mostly bare branches. Broom is a large shrub of heaths, open woodlands and coastal habitats. Like gorse, it has bright yellow flowers, but it doesn’t have any spines and smells of vanilla.

About the author

Hi my name is Hannah. I am a trainee Forest Bathing guide, training with the Forest bathing Institute. I have been a forest school assistant for many years with Fernee Forest Club .

My passion is outdoor adventures, and discovering more about our local landscape.

Over the lock down years, I walked the South Downs Way with a group of friends, it took us over two years, we enjoyed a very leisurely pace that allowed us to absorb all the sights, sounds, and thrash out all our worries, triumphs, musings, along with plenty of tea breaks!

Exploring, connecting and observing local natural spaces is beginning to transform from a passion/hobby to become my actual job (nearly!). Having been comfortably tucked behind a computer screen as a website manager and graphic designer for 24 years, this is both very exciting and quite a challenge. Thank you for visiting the blog and website.
