In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.

It may sound sappy or corny, but being kind during the holidays is everything. Whilst it's a beautiful time of year, it can be heavy for so many. We're all in this life together, and in the end, we only have one another. We can't take away other's pain, but we can at least be a source of their joy.

Mary Delaney began making these botanical paper collages in her 70s! She made almost 1000 of them using paper that she laboriously cut and glued with extreme precision. 😍 🌱 #Botany

My Etsy shop will close in 2 hrs’ time. Last chance to bagsy one of my botanical things, many of which shift your brain biochemistry for the better. Would be smashing if you could RT if you get a moment. Thankyou 🌿x

As a kid my parents told me that if I ate too much chips and salsa it would ruin my dinner but as an adult I now realize that you can eat as much chips and salsa as you want and if you eat enough chips and salsa you get to have enchiladas for breakfast the next morning.

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars. When women rage, we create. We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things. Behold rage project #1

I'm bumping a couple of videos I made for people who are coming over from X since so many have joined even in the few days since they were made. This video is a walkthrough of how to find the accounts you followed on X, set up your feeds and use lists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_V2...
