Snoweider

@Snoweider@mastodon.scot

I'm a Mountain Leader (IML and WML) and wildlife guide. I work mainly in Scotland and the Lake District, as well as overseas. I live on Isle of Arran

I'm also an otter groupie, seabird fan, cyclist, would-be runner and sporadic climber. Sometimes I'm even to be found in a kayak. I live with my husband Wally and two furballs called Nuis ๐Ÿ• and Mango ๐Ÿฑ.

I toot about my life, my work, and love to boost stuff about nature, especially the geekier stuff.

Good morning hunters! How's everyone feeling this morning? To be honest, I'm a little emotionally wrecked. I don't think it's possible to escape unscathed by the experience of the universe reminding you of your place in such a way. Have a good gentle day. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š

Trying to put into words how I feel. The whole improbable miracle of this little rock hurtling through space protected by our tiny bubble of an atmosphere, from the blasting solar winds. And beneath all that sky, there's us, and life, and me and my little dog and the infinite wonder of it all. ๐ŸŒŒ

One week, 35 miles and ยฃ100 raised. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated in support of Scottish Mountain Rescue. I'm mostly cycling it (not running as I originally intended), but there has been some walking too! https://virtualevent.scottishmountainrescue.org/lucy-wallace/posts/thank-you

Quite pleased to at least be able to totter at a solid 4kmph along forest roads with this boy now! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Wally has been walking him mostly recently and I've been missing our time together. It shouldn't matter to our bond, but in reality, it does. Doggo's being proper soppy now that I'm back on the walking rota.

Police appeal for information after remains of osprey found at Loch of the Lowes.

This is utterly tragic for everyone who loves these birds and most of all the mate of this bird who is starving herself sitting on eggs waiting for him to return.

Dear Guardian. Who has 150g of rhubarb knocking around while trying to use up the dregs of the fridge (OK me, but I have a plant in the garden), & white miso? Also raw slightly going off cauliflower ๐Ÿคข? I like a fridge raid meal but you lost me at "going to the market for your weekly shop". Please if you are going to post anti waste food suggestions can you make them helpful, rather than just some sort of snobbish way to make the rest of us feel guilty about being so crap? https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/may/04/how-to-make-a-fridge-raid-salad-recipe-zero-waste-cooking-tom-hunt

My "sitooterie" kitchen garden. It's looking lush for this time of year and when things start flowering it's going to be bonkers!

Patagonia have made an anti-consumer film called The Shitthropocene. Looking forward to watching it (it's 46 mins long). I find it fascinating that a company that needs profits is challenging the capitalist status quo. They have an impressive environmental record, but their model does rely on people buying new stuff sometimes.*

*Note we are all eco-hypocrites at one time or another. We just have to keep trying and not give up.

A bit sad today. Maybe it's the weather which has finally broken. ๐ŸŒง Might be that I woke up with nasty cramp in my injured foot/ankle. ๐Ÿ˜– Possibly that I've decided not to do No Mow May this year because we have a tick infestation in our lawn. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Quite likely a bunch of other things that I can't put into words. ๐Ÿ’”
Please send me your little wins, some climate positivity, or even just pictures of your cat. ๐Ÿฑ
Thank you x.

Getting ready for Arran Mountain Rescue's 60th Anniversary party. I think we have the essential items in place...

Two cans of beer specially made from the Seagate Brewery, Arran. One is called "Goatfell Rescue", the other "Goatfell Murder."

I'm inspired by lovely supportive friends including Becki who sent me this awesome rehab advice in the link (O is for Optimism), and also Kate Worthington of Raw adventures who told me about her strategy for recovering from illness/injury. I'm starting a trend right here. Feel free to join me!

Yesterday's was snuggling on the sofa with Meg and Bo, who are Sharon and @GrahamUney 's lovely labradors. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

Today's is people. All the lovely people who have worked hard to keep the wheels on while mine came off. Colleagues, mountain rescue team members, friends, and my lovely husband Wally who got a train down to the Lake District to fetch me and my van. Onwards and upwards.

Someone please explain to me how I can operate efficiently under these conditions?
