Spiderwebs, Songbirds & Summer Magic - It All Starts Tomorrow


A gentle 3-day invitation to slow down, step outside, and reconnect - with nature and yourself.

Dear Reader,

This morning’s walk through the woods offered one of those quiet resets that seem to arrive when you’re paying attention.

The boys had their “eyes-in” ( or 'ditch vision' switched on, as one of our friends, Ben, calls it) - and as we moved slowly, we noticed more:
A spider mid-meal. Two striking Wasp Spiders, poised in perfect stillness. Mushrooms nestled in the undergrowth (none edible this time), the bubbling call of a Golden Oriole, and a Buzzard’s feather dropped like a clue on the path.

These encounters - small, alive, unhurried - are what keep pulling us back outside.

They’re also what inspired the Mini Nature Quest, which begins tomorrow.

It’s a simple offering:
🌿 3 days
🌿 3 outdoor invitations
🌿 A rhythm to help you (and your family, if you choose) move more confidently outside.

Although designed with children in mind, we believe everyone carries a child within.
Whether you join with little ones, a partner, or on your own, the Quest is about presence. Reconnection. Letting nature do what it does best - reorient us.

You’ll receive:
🌿 Gentle daily prompts
🌿 Access to a welcoming community space, where we’ll gather and share reflections
🌿 A daily live session starting tomorrow at 9:30am UK / 10:30am CEST to introduce Quest 1 and explore why these small acts of attention matter.

It’s free. It’s light. And it’s a chance to reset your relationship with the natural world, even just for a few days.

👉 Subscribe here to receive the daily quests
👉 Join the community space here

We begin tomorrow, July 23rd.
We’d love to have you with us.

From our wild corner to yours,
Katie, Luke, Roan & Albus

Dear Reader, We now have four Swallows singing from our electricity line, chasing each other through the air. The Grasshopper Warblers surround us, and the spring flowers are in full bloom — a Giant Orchid on the loop, Wild Garlic down by the river, and Primroses gracing every grassy patch they can put roots down in. There are Cuckoo flowers in abundance too, but we are yet to hear one… I (Katie) had a very strange dream that I had heard a Cuckoo, only to realise it was someone playing a...

Dear Reader, It’s been a month since our last letter. We’ve been busy. The house build continues here at Wild Finca — plastering, endless roofing, and so many decisions! And then, amidst all that, quite suddenly, spring seems to have sprung! January was relentless with storms. Last week, when we visited the beach, we found three dead Puffins washed ashore — a sobering reminder of how wild and fragile winter can be. So we are especially grateful to feel we’re coming through the other side. In...

Dear Reader,We have something special to share with you this week. Last spring our lovely friends Penny and Dave Green visited us here at Wild Finca. You may remember the newsletter afterwards - full of moth trapping, bio-blitzing, and all sorts of other magical nature activities.While they were here, Penny also recorded a conversation with us for her wonderful podcast The Wandering Ecologist. Listening back feels like stepping straight into an Asturian spring day - birds calling, pond...
