Hardworking Worms, and YouTube

 

Art - Lady of the Garden by Lore Pemberton

Unlike this lovely image my garden is almost done for the year, although amazingly I have some flowers still looking lovely, if a little scruffy around the edges.  But they are providing nourishment for the couple of bees that I have spotted recently, so they will remain as they are until no little lives depend on them.

 I have one more tomato plant to take down and feed to the tiny compost bin.  It really is tiny so I feed it with weeds, trimmings and food scraps slowly, leaving the worms to do their magic for a few days in between ... it's amazing how hard they work.

A lot harder than me if I'm honest!!

I also have to be honest and say that I have not been reading much at all this month, the dark mornings and evenings have seen me snuggled up on my chair with a mug of coffee and the television switched to the YouTube channel.

 While the television itself can be is full of depressing news and mind-numbingly boring quiz shows (not you Only Connect and The Chase), there are so many people filling the screen with lovely positive videos and interesting things to watch.  So that is currently my viewing of choice.

So here are a few YouTube of the channels that I am really enjoying at the moment.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

  1. We look forward to Rewilding Jude every Sunday - he clearly appeals to lots of others as he only usually does one video a week yet has a huge number of followers. He seems to be lovely and normal for a change!!

    1. It is really nice when you find a 'normal, good person' on any social media platform isn't it. All four of these ones that I watch seem to be just that.

  2. We had bees back yesterday just as I thought I would cut the rest of the lavender down-just left if for them to enjoy. Our golden rose is still flowering and a pot of marigolds that we were gifted. I’m off to start making some lavender sachets from last years dried lavender. Happy weekend. Catriona

  3. It does no harm to just be and enjoy snippets from others' lives.

  4. Some nice recommendations for some relaxing viewing there.
    The caption on the lovely illustration was very apt for me today as I woke up feeling very grumpy, a turn round the garden helped tremendously 😀
