This morning I went to Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve I live just on the edge(5 minutes walk away)of this beautiful and enchanting place,Yes once again I am very fortunate indeed,it is relativity new as it used to be farmland ,I really have no need to go anywhere else,but I will(it must be the adventurer in me.

Whether it be enjoying our carpets of bluebells in the spring, summer picnics in a sun-filled glade, or autumn walks in misty woodland, Ranscombe can offer it all. And if you enjoy wild flowers, the reserve is famous for them…

Ranscombe Farm is Plantlife's largest nature reserve in England, with a total area of over 250 hectares (620 acres). Its rolling landscape includes arable farmland, large areas of ancient woodland and fragments of chalk grassland, and offers superb views across the surrounding countryside.

Ranscombe Farm has been known for hundreds of years as an important site for rare wildflowers. One of Britain’s rarest wildflowers, Meadow Clary, was first found in the UK at Ranscombe in 1699, and still survives in the same spot.

Plantlife manages Ranscombe Farm in partnership with Medway Council, and the reserve now also benefits from an important grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
You are welcome to visit at any time, but remember that Ranscombe Farm is a working farm, so please respect crops and livestock and keep to the marked paths.

Good morning  my friends, yesterday was a lovely sunny day and I managed to dig over a nice new large border for some perennials I am going to plant later,its going to be full of colour,its purpose to attract Bee's and insects,I am slowly but surely going towards a wildlife garden,to day its raining(but only on the outside)I have pruned all the Roses(I always spell Roses with a capital R as that's the importance I place on them)I had planned to visit Upnor to day but the weather might just have put the block on this,we shall have to see what the day brings.Enjoy your day.

Its just like  a balmy summers day here now,(I think I can remember one of them)just the thought that we can do what we want and go where we like it gives us an  incredible sense of freedom and well being,and enables us to count our blessing.
