I&#8217;ve just used the last of this year&#8217;s batch of Two Mile Jam. I used to make this in late summer or autumn, using fruit grown or foraged within a two mile radius of our garden in Nairnshire, and every time I spread it on my toast I was transported back to the favourite haunts [...]]]></description>

Our recent visit to Cawdor Castle was partly to check out a new piece of art that&#8217;s been added to the gardens. We&#8217;d seen it being lifted in by helicopter a few weeks ago and were curious to see it in position. There are already three other sculptural pieces there, all of which I love: a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I write a weekly nature column in the local paper and over the past three summers this has always featured the pied wagtails that have taken to nesting on a shelf in the old stone shed. They always get in there early, make a flattish nest (full of Nosy Norris&#8217;s hairs this year, of course), [...]]]></description>

Nosy Norris is a very hairy dog indeed. You might think that the reason a very hairy dog has that much fluff is because it needs it all to keep it warm. Apparently not. The hair is designed to shed and Nosy Norris could shed for Britain in 2012. I&#8217;ve come to believe that she [...]]]></description>

The long winter brought an unexpected dilemma for us. All through the weeks of snow we dutifully kept the garden feeders topped up with peanuts, fat balls, even home-made ones when we were snowed in and couldn&#8217;t get down the hill for supplies. We watched with great satisfaction as the population of small birds flocked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

Last weekend we took part in the RSPB&#8217;s Big Garden Birdwatch. We&#8217;ve been doing it for a few years now, and the evidence all points to the birds knowing exactly what&#8217;s going on. This year was typical. We set the clock for an hour at the start of our survey, and immediately all our usual garden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outside my bedroom window is a little mud nest stuffed full of baby swallows. It&#8217;s tucked under the corrugated roof that forms a covered walkway between the cottage and the outbuildings, and it&#8217;s just low enough to be able to see five fluffy punk heads poking out of the rim. The white lipstick markings round their gaping mouths show [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the time of year when I get the best views of the brown hares that live near the cottage. 
They must go elsewhere in the territory for their spring boxing games, but in summer I often see one, or a pair, enjoying long lazy suppers on the west-facing slope of the field across the dry-stone wall. [...]]]></description>
