Historical and Contemporary view of places around Britain and France with photos of Castles, Historical sites, Nature reserves, Wildlife parks and from Essex, Mistral the Swan.  Nathanville UK on YouTube now has over 50 vidios on nature and travel e.g.  Steam Trains on the Lakes (The Lake District).

With tadpoles and newts in the pond, Spring gets off to a good start for this organic mediaeval style vegetable plot and informal, almost cottage-like garden. By not using chemicals in the garden and working with nature the wildlife finds its own natural balance.
