On that note, I'm on the lookout for photos of different Curlew ring colour combinations.

Two v different @bloodontheclocktower.com games tonight. 1. Monk killed off straight away & thus unhelpful. 2. Imp (bluffing Ogre) who managed to get down to final three!! Special appearance from our favourite storyteller! @benburnz.bsky.social @aggiepaints.bsky.social @kenchengceo.bsky.social

Lesser Stag beetle!!! What an absolute beauty! Sometimes mistaken for female Stag beetle, but the matt black colouring shows it is a Lesser Stag (the female Stag is glossy brown-black). #Beetles #Insects #UKWildlife

One of the highlights of our visit to UK Games Expo yesterday was getting to try out the new LOTR Fate of the Fellowship game. #BoardGames #TabletopGames #UKGE #LOTR

Swipe to build - again! This time, it's the turn of the Praying Mantis from Lego's The Insect Collection 21342. I love how articulated the body and the legs are.

Bit wet out. Didn't deter the Chiffchaff though

Finally trying out the Flow board game. I swapped in my black cat D4, seemed appropriate! #BoardGames #TabletopGames #Dice #Cats

Might head to #UKGE on Friday, anyone here going? And if so, is there anything in particular that you'll be checking out?

We found the gold robber, and rescued the kidnapped Sheriff! Annoyingly we went 1min over 1hr, which dropped us a star in the scoring system. @kosmosgamesuk.bsky.social #BoardGames #TabletopGames #EXITTheGame

I haven't shared any #embroidery for a while, because I was busy creating some for my wedding! Each hoop is a table name, and each is based on a holiday and an animal we saw (and photographed) on that holiday. The majority are, of course, #butterflies or #moths.

Oh yes, this was satisfying to complete. The big areas of pattern / colour were quite frustrating! #JigsawPuzzles

We misunderstood something and lost the prologue game twice... oops. Sorted that out and now we're in the game proper! #BoardGames #TabletopGames #PandemicLegacy

Here we go again... There'll be limited photos from this game, as it is a Legacy game with boxes to open and surprises to reveal, and I don't want to spoil it for anyone. #BoardGames #TableTopGaming #PandemicLegacy

A handful of Maybugs ❤️ This lovely beetle is also known as a Cockchafer, Billy Witch and Doodlebug.

I've been a bit quiet on here lately, because I've been getting married to my best friend! An utterly perfect day celebrating with our families and friends.

At the @nhm-london.bsky.social we have hundreds of drawers of Asilidae, & receive requests from all over the world for either physical or digital loans Check out these big un’s in the genus Hyperechia that I imaged for a recent request (these images are just for labels & size) #worldrobberflyday
