The last supper. Noticed this drowsy bee in the The last supper. Noticed this drowsy bee in the garden this evening and observed it for a while before trying to revive it with sugar water. It just wasn't interested, so instead I brought it clover flowers and lavender. It spent the next hour moving gingerly between them all, it's proboscis dipping in and out of each succulent flower tube, gathering each tiny drop of their sweet nectar and morsel of pollen, before folding down its wings, tucking in its head and succumbing to its last, surrounded by beauty. #bees #bee #saveourbees #savethebees #nature #mothernature #pollen #insect #photography #philippajkaye #springwatch #naturephotography #naturewatch #summerwatch #lifeofbees #bbcearth #bbcwildlifepotd #bbcwildlife #natgeoyourshot #natgeowild #naturelovers #summergarden #garden

Calling anyone who's local, we need your help! L Calling anyone who's local, we need your help! Last week's family fun day was a resounding success and we raised over £700.00 for the wonderful #focus4hope. However we have 2 more fundraising days on the horizon and we need you! How? By donating prizes for both the adult and the children's tombola. So, come on, dig into your regifting drawer (we've all got one), that foot cream you'll never use, that bath oil you just never have time for, that party pack of local ales that you never got around to drinking despite lockdown! Okay, so perhaps that's a bit optimistic. Got a spare bottle of wine lurking in the fridge? No, also too optimistic? Well buy one and donate it anyway! It's all for an excellent cause. For the kids: Do you have a doll that your little angel hit her brother with and never used again? A colouring set that never quite ignited the inner Grayson Perry? Any games you never got around to opening? We'd love them all. DM me to donate. Oh, and certain people on my timeline, I'll be harassing you directly!! :) #focus4hope #fundraiser #fundraising #funday #charityfundraiser #charitybeginsathome

Cochin, documented as the oldest European settleme Cochin, documented as the oldest European settlement in India, has been drawing in traders and explorers for over 600 years. Its melting pot of cultures, its giant Chinese fishing nets sweeping above the water, Portuguese churches, Dutch architecture, Hindu temples, ancient mosques and a 400-year old synagogue, are it's most mentioned places to see. But for me it's a feeling, a moment, and memories. The incessant cawing of crows, the humid tinge in the air, the hug of the gently pervading scent of spices all of which provide the constant backdrop to an ambiance that is at once laid back yet gently vibrant. Kochi lures you in, makes one want to stay and explore but leisurely. To stroll it's bazaars and cafes, enjoy lazy lunches, visit it's art galleries, take in the impromptu cricket games, marvel at the trees, settle in for sundowners and watch the world go by, and then do it all again the next day. So many people hurry through, I'd spent a week there each time. It's on my list of happy places, a space to relax, enjoy, explore, take time and just simply be..... #cochin #kochi #kerala #keralagram #southindia #memsahibinindia #philippajkaye #keralatourism #cgh #cghearth #meandcghearth #malabar #malabarescapes #pioneer #weareindianexperiences #discoveringindiadifferently
I often heard my mum and aunts sharing stories abo I often heard my mum and aunts sharing stories about Flushdyke, the village where they grew up. For in those days it was a village, everyone knew everyone, celebrations and tragedies were shared alike. Everyone had a trade, rag trade, blacksmiths, graders, iron mongers and more. When the first telephone exchange was installed the girls who ran it would often tell the caller, Oh, there's no point in putting you though, they're at the bingo, gone to Ossett, she's gone to my Aunty Clara's for a brew. It was (and still is) bordered by Ossett town and surrounded by farms. Then in 1971, the bypass was built, locally known as the 'mad mile.' It split the community, made half of the village inaccessible and most of it was put under compulsory purchase and then sold off for industrial land. I set out on a walk today that I've not done before, on an explore of my own past. It took me from the home where I grew up, to Gawthorpe village, led through and the farms that still exist. The birdsong was prolific, I even surprised a kite who called out grumpily as it soared towards the sun and bees bumbled from flower to flower. I surprised some cows who'd just been given breakfast and bid a cheery hello to the local farmer. Eventually it brought me out under the mad mile and into what is still called Flushdyke. These pictures say it all. How much we lose in the name of progress. #bees #community #poppy #poppies #meadows #villagelife #farmlife #flushdyke #ossett #gawthorpe #yorkshirewalks #yorkshirewriters #yorkshire #philippajkaye #nature #climatechange
