Covid Time Spring Gardening
Covid Time gardening has not been different to the usual gardening but I have got a couple of jobs that didn’t get done last year. We have had a couple of trees down from the back of the house. One birch and an ash. The ash keys (seeds) get everywhere much as I love the […]
Covid Time Walks
As we can only walk locally during Covid Times I have explored a few different walks to take the dogs on. We all love walking Halford Meadows and Onny Meadows, with all their lovely sniffs (the dogs) and views of the hills (me). But we all like a change, and the dogs enjoy discovering different […]
Spring 2021 Has Sprung
Spring 2021 Has sprung here in Shropshire. We had a wonderful displays of snowdrops in February, a Spring precursor. We now have beautiful daffodils blooming everywhere. The banks at the road sides have clumps of pale yellow primroses. Hazel trees are beginning to lose their catkins but if you look closely you will see their […]
Covid Times
We hope everyone of our customers are keeping well during Covid Times. Here at Folly View we are both looking forward to having our Covid Vaccinations later this week. It seems silly to get excited about going to have a vaccination but it is an opportunity to see other people and to go out. The […]
Long Tailed Tits
Long Tailed Tits are one of my favourite birds. They are gregarious, noisy and so interesting to watch in the garden. We have lots of Long Tailed Tits around Folly View. We see them most days over the Winter time flitting from tree to tree with their hangers on, the blue Tits, Great Tits and […]

Christmas 2020
We are now days away from Christmas 2020. It has been a challenging year. We started the year cleaning, re painting and building new beds for Folly View after a rather disruptive visit from some challenging guests. We had a lovely visit in February from some regular visitors from Eire and very soon after their […]
Sparrowhawks
I can remember rarely seeing Sparrowhawks when I was growing up. One place we did occasionally see them was along motorway embankments. Sparrowhawks are now found through out the United Kingdom, even up in Shetland. We see them regularly around Folly View and down on Onny Meadows. Many years ago one hit a window at […]
Winter Walk
It’s December 1st and for me we are now into Wintertime. Here it is a bright, sunny, frosty morning, the cheeks are glowing now I am back in the warmth of home. The colours glowed on Onny Meadows, I could find all the colours I love, browns, pinks, purples, greens, golds and greys. As children […]
