I have been using this same advent calendar by Sally Swannell for 7 years now. I'm sure that a tiny clockwork mouse shouldn't make me this happy - but it does - every time!

Fabulous FREE Christmas event at Pontefract Museum - on now! 🎄🍭🧑‍🎄🎄

Today I went to get all Christmassy Temple Newsam and the only photo I took was of this cat. Gorgeous interiors, beautiful Christmas trees, and I photographed this bad boy!

Visited #LongLiveTheChristmasTree Harewood House Trust A particular favourite was the Ribbon Tree by Andy Singleton - stunningly intricate and delicate.

Lovely trip down memory lane with a visit to 1620s House & Garden It is looking fabulous. It will always have a very special place in my heart.

A short trip to London to see my fabulous family. Exhibitions at Wellcome Collection British Library and the hidden gem of Dr Johnson's House One evening at Bridge Theatre and another at Canary Wharf Winter Lights. Very few photos, but good times and the best company.

Back from a short trip to the Netherlands. I took lots of geeky photos of really slick museum interpretation, but also managed to take some pretty ones (incl obligatory windmill)!

Oh what a (k)night! King Arthur from @LeNavetBete was exactly what I hoped it would be. A very silly show. Loved it. Thank you Cast

The new special exhibition ‘Seeing Double’ at Wakefield Museums & Castles at Wakefield Council #WakefieldOne is a unique way to step back in time in #Wakefield and its world leading textile industry. #Museum #Exhibition #Heritage #Textile

Now that my lovely scuba diving sister-in-law has received her gift, I wanted to share a photo of my latest piece of glasswork. It was a fun one to make.

Being shortlisted in two categories is an amazing achievement! Brilliant team.

Just got home to see this little chonk in my back garden. Oh great hedgehog whisperer Tegwen Roberts 💙 I know you must have sent it to make me smile. Thank you! ❤️

Back again to Cast to see Casting the Runes by the incredible Box Tale Soup Wow, that was beautiful. The choreography was just stunning. Scary, yes, but stunning. See it if you can!

My latest piece of stained glass finally delivered. I had planned it for my friend's birthday in June. This is why I can't take commissions!
