Wildlife Trust - Food Festival

Story location: Home / Blog / coventry /
14/Sep/2008

The Warwickshire Wildlife Trust held their first food and drink festival today. It was a fairly small affair but there was some good food available. We bought some local wine (from Leicestershire) and some locally made cheese. We also bought some chocolate fudge which tasted really good - almost like a soft chewy block of chocolate rather than fudge.



Mad Squirrel

Walking past Holy Trinity churchyard, I saw a squirrel up a tree 'flapping' its tail and making a screeching noise. I noticed that it had a nut in its mouth and at first thought it was stuck and couldn't get it out. The squirrel ran up and down the tree and across the grass before it finally buried the nut. The nut wasn't stuck, the squirrel was simply being over protective.



Heritage Open Day 2008: Part 2

The Organic Garden at Ryton had free admission as part of the Heritage Open Days. We didn't have time to fully explore but we had a look around the shop and part of the gardens.

This afternoon we were at the Herbert Gallery and Museum for a brief tour ahead of the reopening, which included a visit to a medieval cellar which belonged to one of the buildings which was originally on site.
