I tied these ribbons to the railings today outside what was HMP Holloway. There is no other sign at the site to remind people that a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned here and some were tortured. #InternationalWomensDay

Our LoyalTree Card customers have planted 2518 trees with @treesforlife.bsky.social in the last 4.5 years. That’s pretty epic #rewilding for one little health store and it’s plucky band of shoppers, don’t ya think?!

Sketching at Lauriston Agroecology Farm this afternoon. Would have liked to have added more detail to this chard plant, but it was just too cold to sit outside for more than an hour.

Another session at @edinburghprints.bsky.social last night, this time looking at embossing. It’s amazing what you can create with a bunch of rubber bands and an off-cut of hessian!
