Treated myself to a little walk in a local wood and a potter around the #garden. The last of the blush gooseberries and the first hazels. All way too early. Still no rain. Table needs sanding, not a job for this day. #wheeloftheyear #nature #yorkshire uk
#nature reserve looking parched and more September than July. I’m lucky to have this piece of heaven opposite my house. A kaleidoscope of colour and shape, providing a haven for creatures. Soothes my soul. #yorkshire uk #wheeloftheyear
Enchanting and I see why my video elicited your memories. This is a beautiful picture and looks such a glorious, healing place. Nothing quite so good as a child to play in natural water. Here’s a picture of the weir over the main river’s waterfall. I can’t believe I walked it bank to bank
Sound on for nature healing! After horrid vibes yesterday afternoon I was drawn to the stream I would muck about in as a child. I come here to dabble my toes and wash off bad energy. Never fails. #yorkshire uk
Got my feet up for 5 minutes watching this Gatekeeper #butterfly and a host of bumble bees enjoying the lavendar outside the snug window. Autumn is in the air already, mainly due to the scorched vegetation and lack of precipitation. #Nature is my best antithesis to the modern toss murk.
Gorgeous old beast enjoying the beautiful sunshine whilst I mainly have a ‘potter’ in the garden. Although today’s potter involves laying some crazy paving. The sun, the cat, garden and nature are saving my sanity in these mad times and of course you all are too. Thank you good people of Bluesky
Titchy bedroom window view. The leaves are dancing in the breeze, glimmering gold then green. #SWHHope #wheeloftheyear
That’s why I wrote ‘Honey, No!’ 📚 Bossy Aunty’s no-nonsense guide to dating & relationship red flags for anyone aged 10+ Because if someone had handed me this at 13 then 40 years of my life would have looked very different. If only I’d had a Bossy Aunty! Link in bio 💛 #booksky
No, you will absolutely not attend any further appointments. Cat holds oldskool paper diary to ransom and I’m snookered. I have no option but to open a tin of tuna. Smug madam. #caturday every day #catsofbluesky #blackcats #cat #SWHHope #yorkshire uk
Spent a few precious minutes watching this peacock #butterfly enjoying the blooms outside my snug window. Naff photos thru glass but they can’t detect me and I get to observe them longer. Love how their markings have a fearsome schoolmistress look. #nature #wheeloftheyear #garden #yorkshire uk
Quiet for two days as helping my son clean and move into Harry Potter’s cupboard under the stairs. However, it has a diddy ensuite but also a view of York Minster! I have been keeping half an eye on the orange felon’s slow motion downfall though. #yorkshire uk #SWHHope #wheeloftheyear
Snap! Managed a pic of this beauty this morning and wondered if this is a tortoiseshell but looks rather similar to yours 😊
Despite our collective abuse, Mother Nature still gifts us delicate, intricate beauty. Not sure if this #butterfly is a tortoiseshell. Also spotted a peacock and red admiral who were far too busy to pose. #SWHHope #nature #wildlife #yorkshire uk #Discover #wheeloftheyear
Always #caturday The hairy dinosaur enjoying some rays beneath the baby bay tree, amongst the onions and granny bonnets. Considering, but not actually, chasing butterflies. #SWHHope #catsofbluesky #yorkshire uk #nature #Discover #garden
Our 🇬🇧Temu Trump has resigned in Clacton. The only other candidate in the by-election is ‘Count Binface’ who appears to have considerable support. Clacton have fetched the flags out. Bin ‘flags’. I hope these pics aren’t AI
What #caturday has been fur this one. Weather less stifling so the ice pack rotation has not been necessary. Apparently water will fall from the sky later this week. The garden is tinder. #catsofbluesky #SWHHope #wheeloftheyear
Titchy bedroom window view and a close up of the collection of things: a cape Verdian shell, glass art, crystal things, organon etc. #yorkshire uk #SWHHope #wheeloftheyear
We get up to 32 degrees today. 9am and already stifling heat. A few pages of Justin Haythe’s The Honeymoon whilst praising my two year old apple tree on her fecundity. Garden secret? Comfrey as fertiliser! #yorkshire uk #Booksky #SWHHope #reading #book #apples #growyourown #wheeloftheyear #resist
Crafted seed pod bouquets from the titchy meadow. Tiny act of rebellion is not spending money. An antithesis to the current bs extinction burst. Will hang them upside down in a paper bag to catch the seed which will go back into the meadow. #SWHHope #resist #nature #flowers #wheeloftheyear
We have 29 degrees in #yorkshire uk. The curtains remain shut but I can’t say the house is cool. The glads won’t last long in the heat but the #cat is the house barometer. The hall is coolest. #wheeloftheyear #SWHHope #caturday always
Tiny acts of rebellion. Buying from #charity or #thrift Needed a 4 minute timer and bagged this ancient beauty for a whopping 50p and it somehow has so much appeal. I wonder where it has been on its travels. #resist #yorkshire uk #sustainability #SWHHope
Just what do they dream of? The adorable old dinosaur possibly scampers and climbs and catches like she did in her kitten hood in her dreams. #catsofbluesky It’s not #caturday but who cares #SWHHope #catsofbluesky
Daily #fruit #harvest from the #garden. We have red, white and blackcurrant and some red gooseberries. Plus raspberries. Don’t all the colours look so beautiful? Harmonious. Wholesome. #digupyourlawn #SWHHope #growyourown #wheeloftheyear
The temp is rising again so the sofa is abandoned in favour of an awkward place for any two-legs to navigate around. #cat #catsofbluesky
Titchy bedroom window view. Facing south east, thunderclouds with late sun illuminating the trees. End days ish. #yorkshire uk #wheeloftheyear #SWHHope
