Welcome to Outdoors and Old Ways.

Short (ish) newsletters all about the great outdoors here in the beautiful countryside of the Welsh Marches. Musings from the garden as the year turns and we develop our wildlife area plus updates of our gardening experiences. A dose of history relating to the old ways will also be a feature here along with folklore and tradition notes. Sometimes I’ll go ‘off-topic’ and let you know about a gig or festival we’ve been to as well…our journey is your journey!

Subscription to Outdoors and Old Ways is either free or the lowest monthly fee Substack allows at £3.50 (or £35.00 per year…12 months for the price of 10!) for this you get access to the full archive and the occasional subscriber-only post - HOWEVER if you would like to support it as a one-off you can…
