Day 100!

#100 - I’ve made it to the end of my 100 days of bob’s farm 100 day project ... I’m not going to lie, some days I really didn’t feel like doing an illustration, but I’m glad I stuck with it. 2019 has been a big and sometimes tough year for me so far, dealing with the fallout of losing Mum and finding new work, I’ve spent a whole lot of time at the farm and I’m honoured to now be one of the custodians of this beautiful place. So much so, I’ve made the big decision to move here permanently. So welcome to my new home everyone. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey. 

Day 99

#99 - only one day to go of my 100 day project (#whoopwhoop) today it’s two white feathers one each for my Dad and Mum. They bought the farm in the 1970s and since then it has grown potatoes, wheat, barley, linseed and oil seed rape. The farm house was renovated by my Dad and later my Mum ran it as a bed and breakfast. I’m very proud of them and I love our farm.

Day 98

#98 of 100 day project  ... yay only 2 to go ! I love the structure of this hedgerow plant that I can’t remember the name of! What is it again? 

Day 97

Day #97 it’s the final countdown of my #100dayproject ... hardly spotted the hare on the farm this year, occasionally I’ll see his ears above the grass and then he’s up and running off. (Also spotted him on my nature night cam) - just hope they come back in better numbers next year and it’s nothing to do with illegal hare coursing. Hares are very special me.

Day 96

#96 - nearly reached the final countdown! 100 day project nearly over and it’s forget-me-not flowers I hope you forget-me-not after this!

Day 95

#95 and meadow brown butterfly and the other day it looked like a whole tree was moving with hundreds of these! Just wouldn’t capture well on my phone. ONLY 5 TO GO YAY! 

Day 94

#94 - #moth and although I admire their beauty I hate them flapping near me leaving their fairy dust - just had a rude awakening by a little owl coming down the chimney and me having to chase it round the house. Mission accomplished owl out safe and sound.

Day 93

#93 #buzzard and only a week Until I’m done ! Yay

Day 92

#92 - I’m not sure what this is but it grows quickly up the side of the farm house... do you know ? It’s a weed but it’s pretty! 

Day 91

#91 dog rose or wild rose and I love these! They also look great in the autumn with their bright red rosehips.
