Start a Nature Diary

What can you see, hear, smell???

 The weather has been so beautiful lately, and is set to be sunny and dry all week.  It’s a great time to start a nature diary.  Look out the window each day, or go out into your garden and draw or write what you see. Birds, flowers, the weather.  We’d love to see some of your work.  You can either post here or send to wlboghall-ps@westlothian.org.uk
