Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Natures good though, walking, cycling, nature spotting whether it’s flowers, insects or birds ticking them off when you’ve hunted down their favoured habitat. Then you can get into the zoology and how they fit into the ecosystem. That’s stuff is pretty cool and nice n cheap! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have walked around the park and Heathland many time, it seems to be only Pigeons and Magpies that live there. I have not got a cycle not ridden one since my mid 20,s, tubby has never ridden a bike in her life, in her condition and being nearly 70 years old i doubt she could now, She cannot walk far, she cannot even make it to Magpies Park, and pathways around it are uneven and some have gradients. I am not being dismissive of your suggestion though @Slowlycatchymonkey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
