Welcome to the wild flower meadow 🌻🌸 a sanctuary for bees, beetles, butterfly’s and many other insects 🫶🏼🐝

There is such sheer variety of the in the of the natural tapestry of the summertime☀️and its earth - each mosaic part is so unique so complex that it often seems a physical evidence of God. 💚These wildflowers and meadows provide bees, butterflies 🦋and other pollinators with food throughout the year.

On a single day in summer, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain thee million flowers which will producing 1 kg of nectar sugar.🍯

I do know the names of some of the wild flowers - from Devil's-bit Scabious, Harebell, Greater Knapweed, Lesser Knapweed, Viper's Bugloss, Bird's-foot Trefoil, Quinancywort, Gromwell, Lady's Bedstraw, Yellow Rattle, Salad Burnet, Dropwort, Wild Carrot, Yarrow, Oxeye Daisy, Kidney Vetch, Common Milkwort, Fairy Flax, Rockrose. Many of these plants, loving the thin chalky hillside, are to the left and right of my perambulations.

They grow in such poor conditions, marking the season and asking for nothing other than the chance to grow.🫶🏼

Harvest ☀️🌾is well underway with long days and complete concentration needed - weekends are not optional. 🚜

We are bringing in the barley, oats and wheat - all of which you eat or drink every day. 🍞🥣🥘

From watching Clarkson’s Farm you will all know that is a way of life amongst extraordinary people. There are so many risks from the weather / the heat this year means the crops are thinner and the quantity per acre lower, to the inevitable breaking down of the combine or tractor before managing to get it all fixed again, to the inconsistences of UK politics😔or the fragilty of the larger world🌎just now.

There is a beauty in the landscape 💚with the golden carefully lined harvested fields, the even mounds of precious straw and the sense of touching the earth 🌱- of the cycle of the seasons🙏

Thank you farmers!
