Pure and Clean Air

Living here in Pembrokeshire, we are guaranteed pure clean air. Which means a super abundance of Lichen growing on trees around us.

It is a sign of very pure air, the more frondy the Lichen the purer the air is.

Pembrokeshire is well known for the diversity of Lichen that grow here, many of the Churches around the Stackpole area are recognised as being important for the communities of Lichen that grow on the old rock of the Church buildings.

Last night we had a visitor into the garden that made more impact than usual. A Badger came in and grubbed up a Jerusalem Artichoke tuber. It was one I missed when digging them out, but the Badger with its keen smell found it.

Badgers love Artichokes and if you want to give them a winter feed treat, then grow some, they are very easy and trouble free. Plus they make great soup.
