In a textiles class as a teen, I sliced this Tim Walker page from Vogue and stuck it on my bedroom wall. Years later, I discovered Delaine Le Bas arranged these roses.
Thankful for Delaine's daring feminist art, which nourished my imagination before I knew her name. #TurnerPrize

That’s 53,600 words completed in my #Romani memoir MS. I’m still pecking away proofreading. I’ll stop on today. The MS has gone to my editor. My agent is onside with next steps too. Cover design is commissioned. It’s getting real. #WelshKaleHeritage #OpreRoma #WriterCommunity

Last time I witnessed a solar eclipse was in August 1956 as a school girl in the UK. 72 years ago, I’m pretty sure we didn’t have safety glasses 😎 Pic taken today of the solar eclipse with the planets Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune in alignment. Thanks Sky View app.

On the afternoon of April 8, a total eclipse will occur where another eclipse darkened the skies over Seneca territory nearly 1,000 years ago. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

A long read that’s worth it, specially the first paragraph that defines the value of storytelling.

Still reflecting on the warm-hearted audience responses to my storytelling and poetry reading at the Registry Theatre in Kitchener, ON 🇨🇦 One woman was in tears, thanking me. Another said 'I'm sorry you had to go through that.' My community said 'We're proud of you.' I'm grateful

Our #TeuluAbramWood story now a new resource for schools!

Where I live you can’t go far without finding a British Home Child family member. Tonight sitting next to me at a concert was the granddaughter of a Bernardo’s boy, shipped to Canada as a farm worker in the Ottawa Valley. As we talked the shame has been handed down. Dr Lynne Tammi-Connelly 🦬🦬🦬

First whiff of spring visiting the farm shop for fresh eggs and #organic meats. Even the cows came out to greet us, happily in the fresh air at last. #FarmLife #shop100mile #organic #mosborough
