These are the days I live now. Everything is green These are the days I live now. Everything is green. There are flowers in the hedgerows and verges, elder and buttercups and long grass. Things that were stark in winter are now cushioned by all the green.

Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶 Not a project that can be done Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶

Not a project that can be done in an afternoon! It's taken about a week just to make a tiny bit and could probably have left them for longer.

I love how nettle like the yarn is. It's quite soft and smells of plants.

It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in the woods 🌳🌿

Apparently it's not just because it's shady. It's also because trees do a thing called evapotranspiration which means they release moisture into the air. So it's basically nature's air conditioning 🌿🌞💖

So if you are too hot and you are able to, find yourself a wood. Or even a clump of trees will do. 

If you like the idea of having something to do while you are there, I have written a new guide, called What to do in the Woods in Summer: A Guide for Creative People. It's quite a lot like the Wild Blossom Companion, there's a little bit to read, some forest bathing style things to do, some gentle, open ended creative things to do while you are there, and some more for when you get home if you want to stretch it out a bit more. The link is in my bio.
