A Special Message

All my life my family has been involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of animals. Some of my favourite childhood memories are of feeding a tortoise strawberries in the beautiful garden my mum had designed and laboured over by herself. I grew up with the sensation that a home is never really a home without A LOT of animals, and throughout my life, I had a lot of them! This then began to reflect on my natural surroundings, wildlife. How could I nurture an environment that would attract more wildlife into my garden. I found happiness in the small things, ladybirds appearing to eat the aphids which fed on the plants, the chaotic journey of ants as they seek out food, the weeds that would grow through the cracks in the pavement that man had tried to subdue them in. It became my escape from what was a very chaotic and traumatic lifestyle.
