It’s good to see that this ancient sweet chestnut has put out some vigorous foliage this year - it looked quite dead in winter.

My first small copper butterfly of 2024. #Perthshire #Scotland

I found a curlew’s egg. Under a tree and predated by a crow I guess. Shame as they’re increasingly rare. I love their mournful fluting of downward notes, so evocative of summer moors. #nature #birds

Ya beauty! Three clear overhead flash+BOOOOM thundercracks and counting.
And the rain is most definitely on.

Not to mention, I was just back from walking 🐕‍🦺when it all started. Fortunate timing.

Gotta love a decent thunderstom. ⛈️⛈️⛈️

@xylophilist It’s suddenly growing darker in west Perthshire.

@xylophilist We’re now hearing distant rumbles of thunder. And the rain’s begun.

@xylophilist I hope it’s less destructive than the one on Saturday night, which knocked out broadband across our whole village for 24 hours.

Anyone fancy making a "Matabele Cake"?
This piece of paper found in our copy of "Hilda's 'Where is it' of recipes", a book on Cape cooking from the 19th century.
I'm sure it's possible to substitute sheep tail fat with something else. Having difficulty reading it all, I must admit, partly the old writing and partly the age of the piece of paper.
Can anyone decipher it?
Fun fact: I was at school with descendants of Hilda's.

Bit I wonder who wrote out this recipe.

@withaveeay I'm sure suet would do instead of sheep tail fat!

@alex_roddie Some lovely photos. You make me ashamed that I didn't get out in more snow this winter.

Dog roses have begun blooming in our hedgerows. I think of them as a June flower here in Perthshire

Two pink wild roses against their green leaves, one in prime condition, the other losing its petals

Bluebells are terrific this year and blooming colourfully in places where they don’t normally put on a show. Also all trees that blossom are doing well, perhaps helped by the lack of frosts.

Spot the #butterfly. Green-veined white on ramsons.
