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 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...

Dear Reader,Happy New Year! January arrived with a soft scattering of snow - just a light dusting across the land here, but more generously across the Sueve mountains opposite, which have been looking especially beautiful in the winter light. Photo taken after the snow had all but disappeared! And on our walk back from our neighbours after Three Kings Day, we were lucky enough to spot our first Woodcock of the season. It came shooting low across the sky and disappeared into the orchard above...

Dear , Before anything else, we wanted to say a huge thank you. For your messages.For your encouragement.For the wonderful photos you’ve sent of yourselves holding No Paradise with Wolves after receiving it for Christmas. Seeing the book out in the world - in your homes, in your hands, beside cups of tea and glasses of wine - is wonderfully surreal. And to everyone who has taken the time to leave reviews on Goodreads and Amazon so far, we truly can’t thank you enough. As part of this...
