Just batted on a men's cricket match and scored 18, let the player at the other end whack it but it looks like we're going to lose, I scored two fours. 

I does not matter what I to do my garden, I have lots of deciduous and evergreen dense shrubs, trees (including saplings) as well as wildflowers including climbers. I have a bug hotel, nest boxes, hedgehog homes, home-made pond made out washing up basin, compost heap, deadwood.
I have also had, apple logs etc and I still cannot attract wildlife as birds, bees and butterflies don't visit my garden. I also put bird food out for the birds which don't get eaten. I have grown rosemary, lavender, sage etc other herb flowers. I wonder where have I gone wrong.
Please can you advise me on what I should.  I am very limited on what I can do because I am chronically ill with fibromyalgia along with chronic fatigue and mobility. This is a video of my failed wildlife garden.
 

In Cork Ireland where I live there has been only one thunderstorm since last August. Even at that it was just one flash and a few rumbles of thunder from a cell to the south west of the city that died before it even reached my location. Summer 2020 was a very thundery summer with two overnight storms and two bad storms in August including an overnight one in the early hours of the 13th which resulted in 22mm of rain falling in just 1 hour at Cork Airport which led to severe flash flooding in West Cork
 

You might be wondering what a "Yank" is doing here. Well, I have always been fascinated with Great Britain, the British, England and the rich history of your continent. At one point in my life I wanted to immigrate to England but my parents at that time wouldn't approve🤨.
Today, I can happily say I have been to London 5 times in my life, to Scotland and the Orkney Islands thought not as many times as London. Such a beautiful land with friendly people.
